Experience talking here- most decent 1/8 buggy/truggy platforms can easily handle 6s.
And if you want a MT to run 6s wide open, lst or the big cen trucks do just fine.
Tire/wheel choice have more to do with drivetrain wear than overall power...
And just a little tip. Some lucas/stp oil stabilizer in your flux steel geared tranny will make it last alot longer. A teaspoon or so will do, just enough to cover the teeth of the bottom gear so when it spins it picks the oil up.
I have made old emaxx trannies survive under bl power. Knowing what you are doing goes a long way in this hobby, along with being relatively open minded! And rest can be found here at rcm, or from the monster himself!!!
