I've read it was possible but am still suspicious, 4 poles motor is not an issue for standard 1/10 ESC?

Thanks for the help. I'm using a lrp tc v2 and a lrp x12 6.5 540 can with a HT 13mm rotor. using the 4dot so no timing in the motor and no timing in the esc and it is getting super hot like 200.. and I know people have run these cooler so its gotta be something binding causing more friction and I have checked just about everything else. Also with the pinion off you should be able to turn the spur pretty easily correct like verrry verry little resistance like a 2wd? I am running the clutch basket as well.

I have a Tekin 5.5 540 motor that I would like to run on 32 pitch. If I follow the FDR in the manual this puts me at a 10T pinion. Will a 10/62 fit ? or is the 10 to small.
I was hoping to order some pinions tonight. Maybe 10/11/12 ?
Any advice

I will be running this winter indoors on a clay tight track, hoping the 540 will do for the winter than maybe look into a 1410 or 5.5 550

My ESC is a Xerun 2.1 120a also if that helps
