Blip, may I ask, what kind of 2700 NIMH cells are you thinking of using? Sub C's right? Just want to make sure, there are 2700 AA cells out there too, and you do not want to use those. You said 6 8511's? Not 8411 or 8611??? Make sure you cycle the packs 2 or 3 times, jot down how many milliamps go in and come out and go in again. If the numbers are not consistent, throw 'em away. Throw a load test on each pack before every flight, until you know the packs.
