I forgot where, but people run this setup in their 1/8 buggies. On 4s, the ESCs stay around 130-140F with the fan on. Once they turn the fan off, the ESC temps shoot for the sky and it thermals. So as long as the fan stays on (or doesn't die on you), you're fine on 4s. On 6s, you'll pull much less current, so you should be fine...possibly even without the fan (I haven't seen anyone test a 6s setup with and without fan though).
In a truggy, I won't absolutely say it won't work as I've proven people wrong with other previously assumed "impossible" setups in a truggy, but I will say that it will generate more heat due to more current needed for the heavier load and 6s would be a requirement if you ever want to even try it in a truggy.
