I wouldn't think your motor would be affected. A motor only gets voltage and makes your car move. It doesn't do anything else. It should be fine.
Not true. If the used motor has a bad stator or a demagged rotor, that motor can pull much more current than the esc can handle. Used BL motors should be disassembled and thoroughly cleaned and checked (check the magnetic strength of the rotor, also) before hooking it up to a good esc.
Also,
free revving your BL system can damage your electronics.
