i was testing some electronics, i have a 12tooth pinion gear,52 tooth spur, a motor with "welcome to the machine"wrote on it,has the timing marks on it. dont know how many turns. also running a old novak 410 M1C esc. i put this system in a stock rc10 gold pan, 6 gear trans. goes FAST, run time is shorter than before, so i put this system in a stealth buggy, it goes even faster, run time still sucks, but it doesnt get as hot. im guessing the gearing is wrong. ive tried going with more teeth on the gears , it seems to run slower. any advice would be great

Your gearing is wrong, you want less teeth to the pinion not more. Try a 10 tooth pinion on the 6 gear tranny, if it's still to hot go to a 9t.
