As long as you stay within the voltage and current specs of the ESC, you'll be fine. The ESC will heat up a bit more, but should be fine. You could add a few more low-ESC capacitors to the battery leads of the ESC as close as you can to the ESC. That will help a bit...

The only reason I'm using mech brakes is because I want to use the 2 speed and the centrifugal clutch makes it so I can't use elec brakes. If it wasn't for that, I'd use elec brakes too because it's simpler and lighter (less parts).

Curious: Why can't you use mech brakes?
