Default RE: Brushed Motor that can handle 3S Lipo?

ORIGINAL: mazdaprotege4

I have a Novak Tepmest Max which can handle a 10-cell pack (so 12 volts total) so I am thinking of hooking up a 3S lipo (well within the limits of the ESC) but I am wondering if the motor (Speed Gems 17T) will be able to hold up to the increase in votage? Has anyone found a motor that can handle 11.1V with no problems? Thanks
Yes, with absolute certainty, this can handle 3s...............specs are:

Nominal voltage 12 V
Operating voltage range 4,8 ... 14,4 V
No-load rpm 17200 min–1
No-load current drain 1 A
Current drain at max. efficiency 7 A
Current drain when stalled 40 A
Max. efficiency without gearbox 77 %
Length of case, excl. shaft 57 mm
Diameter 37 mm
Free shaft length 8,7 mm
Shaft diameter 3,17 mm
Weight 220 g
