Will slowing it down make smoke?
The plan is to run a Mini-Z MR-03S around an obstacle course in a small indoor space. So, I need to slow the car beyond what the small pinion can do. Putting a resistor on the + side of the motor should work, but will this damage the ESC?

You might fry the resistor (it's going to dissipate quite a bit of power), but not the ESC. Do you have the ability to turn down the throttle endpoint? That would be much easier than anything else.
