I don't want to get into a manufacturer slurr but a 6.5 is the lowest (fastest) wind you'll ever run in a buggy (sensibly) and yes I do believe that the newest LRP motors run hotter than many other manufacturers = heat.
Of course each manufacturers motors need specific tailored gearing. That said I run a 23*76 on a 7.5 so for the motors I run you're not exactly miles away, I certainly doubt are enough away to generate a lot of excessive heat by being on the 'wrong' gearing. No harm in trying though if it's got a thermal cutout?
