Default gtb or 6.5 problem?

well long story short, i installed my orig version gtb esc and 6.5r in my xx4 tonight and went to turn it on..... well i was also setting up my radio w/ a new reciever as well...


turned on the esc, and the motor began to run kinda slowly, i just needed to reverse the setting on my radio. i change that and smell something.... touch the esc and it's hot!!! and the motor would slowly run slower and slower w/ just a tiny amt of throttle...

now 10 mins later, lipo is unplugged, gtb is still warm, motor is still warm, and i really don't know what to do. everything worked fine a few months ago as thats the last time i have used the esc or motor. pack is freshly charged.


any idea's? does the esc maybe just need to be set up? i'm just not really sure where to go from here and any help is greatly appreciated
