My Posts This: Topic Forum | Several things can come into play here.
First off alot depends if you have matched the appropriate motor to your specific application?
Secondly if you feel you have indeed done this, you have to consider if you are running the right pinion as you mention, reason being if your ESC is backed off to much it becomes a restriction creating un usable heat and energy loss to the system. I suggest looking into using such tools as Mr. mels Headspeed calculator and referring to what your esc is and your throttle % at hand. Depending on such you need to be in an acceptable range for the esc to be effective in having governor room, but yet "open" enough to release and be efficient as well and to not create heat.
If your gearing is overall a high leverage you could be pulling far to many amps from the pack and creating such heat to the pack, heat kills packs for certain and in a hurry as well. 
Having to much un useable headspeed is beating air into submission and achieves nothing but what you say.
A short review of your setup would help in determining a better answer to your question if you could supply that sir.
