If you're going to run 6S on a MM, you are going to be just over the 25v limit with a fully charged pack. I would think that 5S would be more than plenty for your application?

I'm surprised you're having trouble with heat, but a 130 degree LiPo is HOT, as in ready to burst into flame. I run a MM 5700 in my T4 stadium truck with 3S A123. I get 13+ mins runtime, motor temp = 130ish, ESC = 115ish, Batts = warm. Have you checked driveline for binding, too tight gear mesh, etc? I think something else is at work here.
