Most likely they are stating that too much current was required by your vehicle, meaning that the amps of the controller couldn't keep up with the demand.

This could be due to quite a few things, but the most common are:
Gearing - you may have been geared incorrectly for the motor/esc/tire combo.
Drivetrain sticking/binding - disengage the motor and make sure the vehicle rolls freely. If it doesn't, start investigating the bearings and axles and diffs and find out what is binding.

I just noticed that coolhandcountry replied while I was typing :)
We're both saying the same thing, heh.
