The controller is thermalling so fast mainly because of the 6-pole motor. Think about it. If 2 poles = 6 pulses per revolution, then 6 poles = 18 pulses per revolution. The ESC is working 3 times harder than usual. Add higher gearing and maximum voltage and that's pretty hard on a controller. Do you have a fan you could use on it? I think 5s with a fan would work fine.
