Did you tell CC what motor you were running, weight of the vehicle, and gearing ratio? They may be assuming you are running a lighter and/or lower geared application.

Just the fact that it is running better with more conservative gearing shows that the ESC might simply have been loaded too much before.

It may be that the ESC was "weakened" when you were running it hard before (when it cogged badly) and now it runs better, but not as good as a new ESC. Depending on what it going on when it cogs, that could be pulling LOTS of current and may have been beyond the ratings of the ESC. Seems kinda far-fetched but could happen I suppose.
