Can I use a servo tester as a throttle?

I have a project where I use a servo tester as a throttle because the project is fully cabled and on a budget. The propellors stay at full throttle for about 10 seconds after which it drops to like 50% power.... how do I stop this from happening? I think it might be because of the servo tester or because of the ESC...

Any idea's on how to fix it or whats causing it are very welcome

Using 12v 50A ESC

The motor uses 25A at full throttle

Nothing gets warm accept the cables after 12 pulls of 10 seconds

My batteries can deliver 700A peak and 200 contentious (estimates, but it is way higher than the motor usage)

Im using a servo tester as PWM throttle control
