I don't they could void a warranty for running at a limited EPA. After all, doing that is like running with the trigger not fully engaged. And they don't say not to run slower speeds, just that it's not efficient to do that all the time.

Not likely. A transformer needs AC to work, so you'd need a switching circuit, and then the sheer size to handle those levels of current would be prohibitive. The end result would be far larger/heavier than the ESC itself. At that point, it would be easier, more efficient, and cheaper just to get the ideal battery or motor you need.
