Using a BEC will make the ESC run cooler, but the esc doesn't care what voltage the bec is set at. so the answer is No.

I have mine set at 6.0 volts.

If you're looking for ways to make your ESC run cooler.

Go back over your setup in the ESC. Turn the timing down some, and how about some punch control?

Just remember, you are powering a motor on 4S, that was really meant for 3S. This is going to make it draw ALOT of amps.
