Don't think most ESCs would be able to ignore mechanical timing. Not completely anyway.
And fwiw, I've been cooking a motor/ESC for the last couple of visits to the track, it's been getting far hotter than it used to in my 4wd (now in a 2wd but rotating in reverse) I've had to add a fair bit of boost and so on.
Checked last night and it's got 10 degrees of mechanical timing I've been fighting against!
