There's a lot to consider.
Are u over-gearing? Check ur gear ratio.
How long are u running yr car?
Touring or Drifting?
Is there any binding of the car?
Check ard the Electric On Road thread and see wht others run in the similar car. U will get a sense of wht turn motor to use, Amp of ESC, pinion and spur size, etc.

im on a dib rs too. running a tamiya stock esc for hours fine , check whether you got build your chassis properly and whether your esc can support the battery type you using.
