You guys have it wrong. Everything is cooler on 6S if your geared & motored properly. I run 6S with 1400 to 1700Kv motors, I take the fan out & forget about it. Always cool.

Power= Voltage X Current

As Voltage goes up, current goes down. Current thru the system is what causes heat not voltage.

If your stuff gets hotter on 5 or 6 S then you have the wrong motor or gearing at least.

With 6S/1400Kv, I use 950 to 1000mA in a 5 minute qualifier with a 2 minute warm up at a fairly large track (NorCal).
