In my Losi 22 i run an Xcelorin 6.5 with 20:76, giving an FDR of 9.23 and it doen't overheat neither.

Maybe try going up a pinion size or 2 as overheating can also occur if a car is undergeared (a bit like if you go for a run but take lots of short, quick steps and your legs feel tired). Is the esc getting hot or just the motor?
