Brian's saying that at 1250w CONSTANT a 6s 5000 mah would only last about 5 mins. He meant that it is not a realistic amount of power to use constantly, only in bursts, that's why he said 250w is a more common average power draw in truggys. Which would equal about 25 minutes max runtime from 6s 5000mah (111 watt hours total). Don't know exactly how your car will compare for power usage.
What voltage do you intend to run that car on? If you want run 6s on that motor you'll have to use a smaller pinion than 16t or you'll be geared for over 65 mph.
Don't concentrate too much on the motors 1250w rating, it doesn't mean much for real use. It doesn't mean you'll use 1250w constant, it doesn't mean you'll never use more than 1250w, it just means the motor is rated to handle 1250w. How much power you really use will depend on many factors, but basically the more load you put on it the more power it will use.
