If that is my old Katana then I would suggest that the motor is to small. I was running 6S 5000 mAh 20C with a Hacker A50-14S at 425 Kv it would come down after 7 to 8 minutes with a warm to hot motor but both battery and ESC were hardly warm. My ESC was a Dualsky 80amp and full throttle with a 16 x 8 prop was just over 80 amps (static), seeing that I spent most of the flights at 50 to 70% throttle it was never an issue and there was certainly plenty of power there.
If you want to run 6S with a prop that big you are going to have to come down to somwhere around 400 to 500kv max.
Looks to me like you are just a little under engined my friend.
