Ok next thing will be to go lead free solder as its hard to apply but has a way higher melting point. With the tekin you can run a fan on the solder posts so that way it will cool them as tekin have said thats where they cool their speed control as that is the biggest amount of surface area that the most amount of heat is.
With no heatsink thats what tekin uses as their heatsink.
I hope that helps mate.
PS if your motor is cold or running at a good temp then maybe you need to gear UP not down as the motor to topping out and running at top rpm for to long and the power is going thru the esc with no load. If the motor is hot gear down if the esc it hot gear UP. So a bigger pinion til you bring your esc temp down and your motor temp up.
You want your motor to be at the right temp so then the whole system can be running all perfect.
