Unfortunately, at these power levels when anything goes wrong, the ESC usually takes the brunt of failure -- and at these power levels the failures are usually spectacular.
It sounds like the ESC took the damage, I wouldn't worry about the motor -- it's probably fine.
If you Lipos show normal voltage, they are probably fine too.
Contact tech support by phone, and let 'em know I told you to call in. We'll see if we can expedite your service.
Thanx!
