Assuming an 11 milliohm battery internal resistance and 4 total feet of 6 gauge wire on your electrical system, you only need about 400 amps to lose 5 volts. 4 CIMs alone can use over 400 amps at stall. If you run most of/all your motors at once, you could be looking at significantly more than 5 volts of loss.
