You may also find the thermal cutoff is premature, and you may be okay turning it off completely (last setting 0). Make sure to watch all your temps if you try this though.
6.0, I usually run a 72-29 or 72-30 on my 13.5 reedy with flow works. Try dropping gearing one tooth at a time and check your engine temps and get a temp gun on your esc too. You can run a fan if needed. You can set all your modes to blinky and increase each mode that has to do with esc slowly also, takes some test time but you may have one setting off a little especially on that 130 foot straight.
