Low torque brushless

Yeah, it has my mind pondering. I had looked at the Neu's, but really don't want to spend that much ,136 ,for a motor thats sole intention is to be underpowered, was kinda unjustifiable. I really would like to keep it under 80 or so.
So here's kinda what I'm thinking with the Ezrun combo. With the smaller esc, smaller wires and basically more resistance on the way, it would slow the amp flow some. Thus giving me less torque, motor cooler, yet still being capable of 3s, giving me more speed. Compared to using a MM , which would feed these size motors all they want.
Am I just asking for trouble, moving from 1 weak link,the motor, to 2 weak links, motor and esc. I can get the 35a 9t combo for 69 bucks shipped, with program card. Not really a wallet breaker.
