3s is already overkill. 4s is just asking for trouble. I suggest you stick with a 2s.
Beyond 2s, you're gonna put stress on the drivetrain.

Your ESC may burn. For 10th scale, stick to 70-80+ Amp ESC's.
If using a higher amp ESC, get a battery capable of handling the amp draw of the ESC.

Wrong ESC, battery and motor. You can't run a sensored motor with a sensorless ESC very well.

As Divyam has already said, the ESC is too small. The battery is to small as well. You want something in the 5000 mAh range....

The motor is a no no. It's a 380 rotor in a 540 can. It'll possibly overheat quickly. I wouldn't suggest running a 3s with a 1/10 ESC because all of them aren't up to the task of running 3s....

the esc is capable of running 4s so 3s  wouldnt be a problem i guess. and by the way i have seen many vids and reviews of people putting the motor in slash stampede and many other tamiya buggies, so what do you say

I wouldn't suggest 3s on that ESC.... Infact I wouldn't suggest 3s on any HK esc...

It would be good to try 2s on a brushless setup first and then decide if you want/need 3s power. I would spend on a good setup and use nimh instead of lipo and later save up for a good 2s lipo.
