Outerwears on the Baja and the MMM are different. The Baja's flywheel is able to pull air through the filter very easily, the tiny fan on the MMM would have a harder time plus the filter will hold heat in.

So far it seems to me that you've been running yours within the safe limits of the power system and it has been fine. Running 6s with even stock gearing with wheels/tires that weigh 1+ pounds each is what will kill your ESC, Motor, and batteries.
So when I go to 40 series and maybe 6S, should I drop to 18 pinion?
