The bigger concern should be battery life, which you'll be best suited to figure that part out yourself. 6 CIM is definitely a possibility, teams have done it before, but what your specific design winds up being will decide whether your battery can handle it.
i put all those numbers in a swell and i got 38.35 pushing amps per motor.
