6s in itself is fine, but people should not be using the heaviest wheel/tire combo then gearing for 60+. Then they wonder why the setup blows. 99% of the failures I see on here on 6s are setup related.
Hence the "personally". In my LST2's I run 4s with no probs,my buds who run 5s & 6s in there LST2's have problems. It's just a general statement based on my experiences. Not rules or guide lines that anyone has to follow ?

I do agree with your 6s setup reference


I retired from RC, now life is all about guns and long range shooting.
