There is a sweet spot for ESC and motor related to load and speed. You get too far one way or the other you'll either cook the motor, or the ESC, as you'll be stressing them. (Too fast/low load, too slow/high load)
Most combos will handle some variation. But you're looking as a massive change, the sort of change you'd see going from something like 8.5T to 13.5T motors........
The proper way to change punch and speed is to get the motor/ESC at the right ratio for the car/motor then to play around with things like EPA, punch, current limits. And others. You can probably get a 8.5T motor to behave like a 13.5T, or a 5.5T by playing with settings (with certain limitations of course!)
