30 degrees cooler in the 6T? That seems weird... are the 5T and 6T really that different in terms of the power needed to push them along? Is the 5T heavier? Or is it a different drive train like a slipperential that is making the difference?

There is a significant weight difference. Not 100% sure if there is a differential ratio difference (I should know this). I ran the Slipperential in both the 5T and 6T. It could be many factors of why it runs cooler: gear mesh on the gears. If the mesh was slightly off, it could put more strain on the electronics. I built the 6T from the ground up, and built the front and rear diffs as per the race specs on the mugenracing forums. The 5T never ran hot at all. 150 tops on the ESC (which is still great). It's just the same set-up is even cooler now in the 6T.
