Your manual should tell you that the ICS-Digital (the one with the plug in current-limiter chips?) can handle "any motor", however there is no mention of any Temperature Protection feature.
If you don't have a manual, go here:

It does say that the ESC can do 75A continuous, and 115A for 30 secs. ESCs with that kind of current capacity today are usually rated around the 15-turns mark. If you gear your car conservatively, you can probably go a bit lower maybe.
You can also email LRP direct to ask?
