This is probably more explanation than you want, but when you gear up any system too high, the motor is effectively stalling. And when that happens, HUGE amounts of current can flow (well into the 1,000's of amps!) which can destroy batteries and ESCs. When an ESC is cogging, the motor isn't moving (or very little) and is essentially a stalled motor.

So, I don't think you should keep running it like this unless you gear WAYYY down, something like 15mph.
