i very much doubt limitting the epa of throtle will heat up the esc or motor any more

That's not true...heat comes from resistance. Grab a power cord for a hair dryer while it's on and tell me if it's hot. Lots of current and no resistance = no heat.

They don't have much resistance when they're on, so that's not when they make heat. It's when they're "between" on and off that they make heat.

Seriously, check out that thread on the new GTB I was talking about above...it pretty much lays it all out...right from Bob Novak and Adnan Khan themselves.

Here you go...
