Horizon sent me another xcelorin system, and this one is broken too. It seems that the ESC is working correctly, but whenever the motor gets up to speed it squeels and stops and the esc gets real toasty.

this is the 4th bad xcelorin system I've had so far, I'm getting pissed

What are you running it in when it squeals and stops?

That is likely the problem, you should never get a brushless motor up to speed with no load. If you need to bench test a set up, give it a small amount of throttle for a brief period and stop.
