Dead Mamba Max ESC? -

Hey guys,
I've been running my Muggy conversion with a MM/8XL combo on 5S. Today, without even thinking about it, I bought a set of 40 series Mashers. I just thought they looked cool and mounted them up. I didn't realize how much bigger they were until I got them on the truck. I geared 9/46 and it ran fine. No cogging or anything. Tonight, just to see, I put on a 10T pinion and it cogged a little. At one point, I wasn't paying enough attention and it cogged for a couple of seconds and then nothing. And I do mean nothing. No smoke and no workie. I'm guessing that the cog sent too much current though the esc and that in conjunction with the over voltage fried it pretty quick. I'd say that it was running on the ragged edge.
This thing is that it doesn't smell burnt and I didn't see any smoke. I pulled it off of the truck and plugged it into my computer and it was recognized and I was able to program it. It just won't power on.
Anyone have any idea what could be the problem? I'd just like to know if it might be something that I can fix myself.
Thanks.
