Rich is right that motor is too high for that 6s. The cheap solution would actually limit your travel in your controller to 60-70% of full. This will effectively limit the Volts that is feed to that 1800 making it feel and behave like a 4s. It should bring you back down to about 30mph speeds, cool things off and increase run time. Keep the rest the same man and try this first if you dont want to buy alot of 4s packs at the moment.
