Can I run this on a 10 cell Li-po Instructions say 8-S to 9-S will a 10-S Kill the motor?

It's not the motor that's affected it's your battery. The max cell count is related to the low voltage cutoff limits for the ESC's. For the Phoenix, for example the highest LVC you can program in is 36 volts. That's based on a per-cell LVC of 3 volts, which is what manufacturers recommend. So 12 cells at 3 volts min is 36 volts, hence the 12 S max allowable cell count.
If you used 14s the 36V LVC would bring cells down to 2.6v/cell, which would shorten their life considerably.
BTW
all Phoenix HV's have a 12 cell max cell count.
