One extra reason I wanted to go 5s for the drive was to avoid two separate links/leds/batteries like in Strix 1, which ran on two different voltages. I'd rather not go down that route again.
It was the motors that broke every time. The gearboxes seems pretty good and I'm still on the original gearboxes that have had the abuse at both 5s and 4s. At Cheltenham it was on 4s. Tx mixing/trimming would be a good idea for running at 5s but unfortunately for me, I don't think I can do that on my Tx, its only a fairly simple Dxe. It would be good to see how the motors last set up like that.
