Help!! mamba 25 overheating

Hello all, I'm new to the forum and enthused to see all this information on my new project. I recently bought a mlst used w/ mamba 5400kv/mamba-25 combo. I also installed an exotek lxt conversion, and was psyched to put some torture to this truck. However, just to test my steering servo, I ran the truck around my house, maybe 2 laps. I didn't use much power, just forward/reverse, just to see if the truck drove alright. Then, I wanted to take it outside for some real fun and that's when I smelled my speed control overheating. The motor was pretty warm as well, definitely unexpected! I'm running a 3s 1320 thunder power pack, a 23t pinion gear and a 54t spur gear. Am I doing something wrong?

overheating motor

I bought the losi exceleron and it said a 9 to 17 tooth pinion. I called losi and they said a 9 tooth to avoid overheating
