It is worth taking the motor apart quickly to make sure everything looks as it should.
Also with so much current current flowing though your system it really is worth using the shortest, thickest, best quality wires you can.
My understanding it that buggies draw much more current than touring cars. The highest current draw is under acceleration. The added weight of buggies and less flowing tracks cause a lot of stress for the electronics, where touring car racers tend to run at a more consistent pace. Also for Mod touring cars they only have 5 cells, and 6.5T Lipo
