Like was said, 85A is a bit on the low side for current. But, with some planning, it can be used. Just gear for as low as you can, increase the punch control (assuming you are using a MMM), and avoid WOT take-offs. Those three things can help a lot to curb those high current spikes.

I get right around 25-30 minutes bashing runtime in my truggy on 5s and 5Ah cells geared to ~38mph. That's an average of 12A with bursts between 110A and 160A+. That equates to an average power draw of 222w, and a max burst of around 2400w. If you can gear accordingly to get around the same power draws at 6s, you're looking at 10A average and ~110A bursts. So, it depends on those batteries. What kind of cells are we talking about here?
