There is a fatal flaw in you higher voltage runs cooler logic here....

A system designed to generate the same amount of power on 6s vs 4s will run cooler on the 6s. But if you are just leaving the motor and the gearing the same and spinning the motor 50% faster on 50% more voltage, you are generating WAY more power with the 6s setup so of course its not going to run cooler.

Say you were generating 1200watts on the 4s setup, now your generating 1800 watts or more on 6s. How could that system possibly run cooler.

In order to run cooler on higher voltage you have to choose an apropriate KV motor and gearing so you are only generating the same 1200watts as you were with the 4s system.

Get it?
I understand what you are saying. However, I design the system based on the RPM I want out of the system. That is why I am saying I am suprised of the heat issue. Pulling 60k out of a 2S and pulling 60k out of a 6S is a world of a difference in heat!! I agree with linc on the gearing issue. I am going to change it and see now that I FINALLY got my V3 in I will keep you guys posted.
