While some of that could have been the other ESC, it should have been pretty comparable from a power standpoint to the previous one.

Is there a finite way to test a brushless motor to see if it was permanently affected by the previous ESC problems? I opened up the motor and it is still clean, no bearings out. No bad burned metal smell from a short. It seems perfectly fine (obviously appearances can be deceiving).

Thanks in advance!!
