i realize the 1y and 4s is only 32k where as the 6s on 2.5 is 37 but im saying IF they were the same

does this make any sence? lol
Well, because current is the contributing factor to heat generation. The less current used, the less heat produced.

Since watts is the power output of a vehicle, and watts = Voltage X Amps (current). When you up the voltage, current can fall and watts will stay constant. Less current means less heat (as well as more runtime, if you want to think of it that way).

To produce 1000 watts, a 10V setup would have to pull 100 amps. However, a 25V setup would have to pull just 40 amps.
