Kraton Can I run 4s on a 14 tooth pinon gear?

Is this going to put too much stress on my electronics? I'm running this motor...

I'm trying to decide if I should get the 12 tooth pinon gear or a motor heatsink. I would only get the heatsink if I can run 4s safely with damaging the ESC, Motor, Lipo pack.

Grab a heat gun and check temps on it after 5-10 min of running and see. Not too sure, there's lots of variables out there like terrain/temps outside/driving habits.

I used to run 13/50 on my outcast on 4S with the blx185/blx2050 4074 and trencher 3.8 tires on it. The tires are larger/heavier than stock outcast and kraton tires. If I was running stock outcast tires, I likely could have gotten away with 14T.

It would handle 14T at the skate park, but not at the grass bmx track I run at. I geared for that place at the time so I didn't have to change it.
