I know you're on a budget, so I would try the fans on the motor and ESC. What connectors are you using? Maybe solder on some 5.5mm bullets for even less resistance. What lipo's as well? New or old?
Try finding the past path of least resistance. Otherwise, I think you'll have to save up and get a different motor. A Feigao 9L would make a good choice on 3s in the Slash 4x4 and could be had for like $60 or even cheaper used.

I set him up with an aveox (1509 sized) of 2768kv set up to run great on 3s. But the vxl esc will not run the 4 pole motor.. He has every component aside from an esc. I'm gonna try the basic bandaids to get the esc to last until he can buy a better unit.
Going to install some low ESR 3900uF capacitors to help kill some of the current ripple, and install an external BEC and not use the crappy linear regulator in the vxl. Scrubbing 12.6v to 6.0 creates a lot of heat. I think it will make 15 minutes
