i started a craze at our club...everyone who is on their first car equipted with a MMM runs 6s
everything from E-revo's, rEvo converts, RC8T truggies and various buggies!!

we are ALL geared for 40mph and no one has temp issues, the ones that drive hard may have the fan flick on for a really short while.
eagle tree data under 6s load and 40mph gearing only shows amp spikes of 70A

my temps never go above 120 on the motor during racing.
my setup is:
rEvo 2.5 convert
E-maxx 3905 tranny, geared for 40mph with LST center diff.
turnigy 6s 30C 5000mah lipo
MMM 2200 combo
17t pinion, 65t spur (never ever stripped a spur since it was converted!!)
ESC fan only comes on when doing speed runs on grass (at 40mph)

something else i'd like to add...
when i gear for 40mph...i set the lipo cell voltages to 4.2v per cell...but as i understand...most people set them to 3.7v nominal voltage.
6s kicks nuts, i can crack 30 min mains, mate with similar setup might push 40 mins, cool temps, loads of power avaliable when you need it (screw up a jump, mash throttle to level out)

recomend it to any racer to run 6s...but i havent taken any consideration to weight though
