How many poles is the motor? If its a two pole motor, then yes -- that RPM is no problem. If it's four poles or higher, that's pushing the ESC a bit.
Really the only issue with high RPM is that the timing will retard slightly at high RPM because the microprocessor starts to fall behind on the rotor position estimation. Adding a bit of advance will help.
Thanx!

thanks for the quick reply, its a 2 pole motor, just one more reason i need to buy a data logger i guess
