I'm going to assume that you mean a new speed control and a translation program is not working the best. Also Can we assume that you are running the 12t titan? I would hate to tell you that you could run that motor on a ESC that isnt designed to go that low. I've heard you can got up in turns but when you go lower than the rated amount you should expect the worse.

I need to know is whether the engine of my Traxxas 12t can be burned for the speed control
(Because the speed control is for 18 to 27 turns)

If it is a stock 12T, then it is actually a 540 sized 17T. Your ESC should handle it just fine. It is close to the limit, I would recommend not running any batteries greater than 7.4v and watch your temps. I would gear it modestly so you do not mess up your ESC.

Just to help you out on your terms:
Engines burn gas, motors burn electricity...
ESC = Electronic speed controller.

One last thing...
I recommend putting in your posts that your English is rough, if not, a lot of people will assume you are an uneducated moron. Knowing your English is rough, we will do what we can to figure out what you are asking...
