I could be wrong here, but I believe CC's recommendation for X size motor is basically just to provide a basic guideline for noobs. Of course, any motor can be the wrong size depending on how it is used, gearing, etc. It basically prevents people running the CC5700 motor in a heavy MT.

As long as the current and voltage are at or under the ESC's capability (6s and ~80A), there really is no limit. Choose a proper size motor for the job with the right kv for the voltage used, gear appropriately, and there won't be any problems.
