I agree in that that is not overgeared. I am also using a 16t pinion, only I am running a 4s lipo (14.8V... 16.8V fully charged). But overgearing is usually what would cause a hot ESC. Maybe try a fan and see how it does then. What temps are you getting to exactly though? If it is hot to touch, that doesn't always mean it is actually that hot, as some people are more/less sensitive to heat.
