Hmm, decreasing cell count is going to increase current draw. Put it this way - it's about power output in the end. Simply put :

Power = Voltage X Current

To produce the same power with lesser voltage, more current is needed & vice versa.

More current results in more wasted heat due to resistance in the system.

So, higher voltage setups tends run cooler & longer for the same capacity of power source (battery)

one way is to increase resistance, perhaps by increasing the pinion size to about 16-17T ?

another way is to reduce the voltage, use lower S count Lipo battery.

Or control Tx throttle curve

Or use a smaller ESC, and give that MMM ESC to me
