Our 6V motors didn't mind one bit running at a full 12V. One of them even lost its internal fand blades and it still didn't even get warm. It is all in how you use them. I hate such generalizations as (for example) "the 6V FPs burn out, you should use the 12V ones." We had great success with the 6V ones and enjoy every Watt of power we have over everyone else.
