I think I smoked my motor -

I was running my 10XL, MM, 4S 8000mah in my new erevo for the first time yesterday. Not running this setup for the first time though. I had this setup in my converted revo previously. I think I had it geared too high at 24/58. Both motor and esc were getting hot( around 180esc, 200+motor). But it took probably a good 10 or so minutes of run time to get hot. So I geared it down and tried it out today. within a couple minutes it quite. The battery leads had disoldered themselves from the esc. Back at the shop(kitchen table) I got the esc back together and plugged everything back up with the motor uninstalled. I noticed that the motor did not sound right and that it would not free spin after letting off the throttle, like it was dragging. When I spin the shaft with my fingers it doesn't feel as free as it used to. Also, both the motor and esc heated up within seconds.
Any input? Seems something is not right with the motor. Can you rebuild them? How the heck do you get them apart if you can?
Well if I need a new motor I need a new motor. Has anyone had any experience with the KD-36 motors from hobbycity? I was looking at the 9XL.
