The first sentence is all that's needed. All the rest that I snipped off is based on formulas and calculations that take in no account for one critical always changing factor- the water. All that I have shared is based on REAL WORLD ON THE WATER testing, racing with PROVEN reliability. And "It will be determined by whether the motor or the ESC fails first" is absolutely laughable, ask Doug Smock how long he's been racing his 10S scale at full tilt with ZERO failures. Enough of this........It's always better to run higher voltage with lower current for the same power. Just tell me where in the rule this lower current is required. It will be determined by whether the motor or the ESC fails first. The batteries have a lot higher capacity.You need 10s for the reasons Don explained. Approximate watts out needed for a scale. Watts = volts X amps. Less volts will generate more amps at the same watts. The knee jerk is prop size limit. Really? With a prop anvil we can modify a prop such that the diameter becomes irrelevant. Don's record is but one example.
