Usually, if a motor is bad, it either will not run right or get hot for no apparent reason. But, if the motor was somehow bad (rotor partially demagnetized), it will pull much higher than normal currents, which will cause larger voltage dips therefore tripping the LVC. Could also check power connectors (on battery and ESC) to make sure there isn't a problem there, which would cause voltage drops on higher currents and trip the LVC early.

The motor feels strong. It doesn't cog or anything and the magnets on the rotor feel strong. I don't think it is the connection to the battery that is bad as I changed ESC's and still have the same problem. I can only guess maybe the leads from the motor causing too much resistance? Or perhaps the connections underneath the plastic cover on the motor are bad? Also, I know the shimming between the pinion and spur is good and not loose. Also, the drivetrain in my car is very smooth especially with my elite RC mount.
