Motor may have demagged... There is a method of testing the phases against the can to check for shorts, and there must be some sort of resistance spec. If two of the phases are shorted it would act as a brake on the motor, and would also cause some massive current draw thru the esc. I would investigate the motor further. Did you buy it new, or used? Any physical damage?
