Seriously?

Any kind of motor means any kind of brushed 540 motor.

Brushed escs do not have the ability to run BL motors; the epicness of your fail is matched only by the appallingness of your soldering ( exposed joints nearly touching = very bad ).

Seriously, who on earth does stuff like this-even the guys on the traxxas forum atleast ask if you can run a BL motor on a brushed esc & viceversa.

You need a new BL esc, and probably a new motor too maybe- traxxas VXL system is fairly idiot proof, or look at the Castle Sidewinder SCT system for 2s lipo / 6-9cell nimh use...
