Well the 1/10 and the 1/18 motors and ESC's differ. If you're game for frying the motor, be that way. You may be running low gearing, but the motor just isn't rated for that amount of volts and sooner or later will fry internally. Same with the ESC like my SW5700 in my Slash isn't rated for 3S, the motor is but the motor with that ESC is not, only 2S with the SW ESC, now with a MM or MMP it could run 3S, but with the Slash's weight and gearing, frying the electronics wouldn't be worth it.
