Hmmm... that's a tough one. Just to throw some numbers out there: 100-120amps continuous is the norm for a truggy on 4s, with a kv in the low 2000s. If you stick to the lower range of that, 100amps, then you can figure that 10s @ 40amps should yield the same performance. But since current is lower there will be less losses overall (P=I^2*R), so it should work. The ESC may need a fan to keep temps acceptable but overall I think it should work
