Besides trying another motor .
I'm just making an educated guess here. Seeing how the wiring is done when using a brushed motor with a brushless/brushed ESC you may not notice as much of a problem. When the ESC is re programmed to run brushed it runs the FETs differently. When you rewire the ESC to run brushed, all three phases are paralleled to the negative motor terminal. The two good phases may make up for the lost phase. The only problem you may notice is extra heat, and possibly lower run times.
