The Vulcan motor is pretty beefy. Based on empirical evidence gleaned from multiple youtubers over the years, it turns out the stock Vulcan motor can operate pretty effectively up to 36 volts. It even works at 48 volts for short periods of time. But not forever. There's no doubt the commutator is literally on fire at that voltage.

Not sure about the Stryfe. It only uses basic 130 motors. I've personally run stock Stryfe motors at 14.8 volts. It smells really bad. The ozone is noticeable, which means there's significant arcing in the commutator.

But FLAT's poor performance is probably a result of lack of watts too. Most Nerfers don't realize it's a wattage problem, not a voltage problem. They'll learn, eventually 😛
