You should try a 5S lipo on smaller tracks, motor response is smooth as silk (similar to 1700kv in 4S) and you'll have more than enough top end. You might just get a bit higher temps from your system because of the taller motor pinion. I run no fan on my RX8 and on a very hot day I'm close to the limit in 1400kv 5S. The annoying thing going from a 6S setup to a 5S is that you'll have to change everything (brake power, current limiter, pinion etc..) to obtain the same feel as in 6S.
