Try putting the 24t pinion back on. You might be overworking the motor. If not gear up a bit until the motor gets to the right running temp margin

I would get a HobbyWing WP-10BL60, those are my go-to replacements for just 3S bashers. If you have a little extra chips, I would buy the HobbyWing Max10 SCT 120a ESC cause you can run 4s on it

Hi again I'm.not a fan of hobbywing but you trust its a good product and how much does it cost? I'm.looking at the castle sidewinder 4? Its only 79 bucks on amazon I'm not sure if hobbywing or castle will link up to the tenshock 5000kv what do you think i should buy?

I noticed the led display does run high so i will lower it to 24

Well, if you've got the money for what you want, I would go with that. I've never owned a castle product so I can't direct you against it. I just pick HobbyWing cause they're cheaper
 
Ok yes i like the hobbywing max but i noticed to on off switch is it internal or do i buy the on off switch sepaeate? Thanks for responding
 
Is the on off switch internal?
I have another question i have a stock axial bomber crawler and i know they are meant to be slow will a traxxas 12t titan with the esc work in place of the stock axial motor? Do they interchange ?

The switch isn't internal on the Max 10 SCT. And for your other question, yes you can swap out a brushed motor for another brushed motor
