Sounds like you over amped the esc. Amp draw of the 1.5d on 6s with that gearing is going to be high. You may have a faulty fet, and that is what smoked. I would say that it would be better to gear the 4s setup up to reach higher speeds.

Then the dang thing shouldn't be rated for 6S and claim to handle "more than you can throw at it" Give me something to go by and to work WITHIN.
I agree with gearing for a bit more speed on 4S, but again, you start to deal with heat issues.. and running 55 more than a pass or two is .. for the most part.. Boring. It's not like you can really drive it around at 55mph. We can;t even really keep tires on them over 45ish without taping, gluing, re gluing, re gluing, etc...
As I said. My attempts with 6S were merely for a run or two geared up as far as I thought would be safe to keep the heat off the ESC. Even then.. I never opened up the throttle. You can't.. #1, torque is insane and won't keep rubber down. 2. Ya run out of space fast if you try and feather the throttle. 3. even if you have the space.. the radio distance will likely limit you.. or your eyes will.
