Angry someone suggested I post my question here....

I finally got my Novak GTB (purchased new) & 3.5 (purchased used) mounted in my TC. When I first tried to use it my Lipo was low (new and uncharged). It would not spin the motor. Today I charged it up and tried to see if my esc settings were right but it would spin very slow. I went to unplug the battery and the wires were very warm I think my 3.5 is bad.
How can I tech the motor to see if it really is bad??
What area (if any) goes bad on these motors??
What else could be causing my battery wires to warm up?

Thanks
