Default brushless without using lipo

Ihave one of the first gen rustlers, got it a longgggggg time ago...as in it came with a mechanical speed control long ago. Igot out of rc a good 4-5 years ago and am coming back. Ijust purchased a ofna nexx 8t and am having an absolute ball with it, just would like something quiet and a good basher for around the neigborhood.

Every thread Ihave searched, every one uses lipo so really hasnt helped me. I am looking for a good but fast brushless system for my rustler now, using only a 6 cell or maybe 7 cell battery. I dont race nor will I ever, just want something I can throw a cheap big 6/7 cell in and go on a nice bash fest. I see traxxas claims the same speeds with their velineon 3500 as castle does with the 7700 on the same 6/7 cell count. Someone school me on how that works or if traxxas is just stretching the truth. Would I have heat issues running the 6900 or the 7700 on a 6-7 cell?
