The 1527 is WAYY too big a motor for a buggy unless you want to rip the tires off and/or are looking for intense speed runs.

6s is fine, just use the proper motor to go with it. A smaller motor with a kv of around 1600-1800 (like a Neu 1512/1.5y or 1512/3d) would be perfect for that voltage, and would stay cool too.

When I was running Maxamps 4s 8000mAh packs on my Hyper8 (Quark ESC, Neu 1512/2d), I got around 40 minutes of runtime and temps were always very good. Using a 5000mAh battery makes the total weight lower and will run cooler since there is less weight to lug around.
