If people are running the same motor on 4s at the 15/46 you are talking about, with your existing motor and battery you should probably be running something like a 10T pinion gear.

The best solution would be like someone else said... switch to 4s with that motor or switch to a 1400kv motor with that 6s pack and you will run cooler, have much more controllable power for the track and probably wont be 10 seconds off the pace....
