Now I use a Tekin RS pro and it can handle it but the connections just get too hot and the solder melts, result loose connection after 8 minutes of driving! I have to check what solder I have but would the 63/37 solder hold. I run a slash ultimate with Tekin RS pro esc and 2.5 turn Fantom fusion2 motor, on 2S it is as fast as my 6.5 turn team epic short course monster

Mate to be honest if you are melting solder joints while using the rs pro I really think you should go back and learn to gear your motor right. As for running a 2.5 on a rs pro just be aware of timing and making sure you have a really good battery to be driving that sort of motor... Cause I can tell you now if its getting that hot to melt the solder on the outside what happens to the solder on the inside on the pcb's??
I really hope your running a battery that has good capacity and great amount of amp draw available as this can be a big problem as the battery is what makes your power not a big motor....
also if you get the chance to shorten your power wires do so and maybe have to sit down and work out a better capacitor bank to due to the lack of power creating the heat not as tho you have to much..... Hope the helps mate
