i'll appresiate any help!!!
Haha. A 2800kv motor for starters .

I'm running a 1900kv with a 19T pinion on it and temps remain at optimal level.

17T on 2800kv -- Your ESC did exactly as it should. Burn out

To fix this buy a motor 2200kv or lower. I wouldn't run more than a 15 or 16T pinion with the 2200kv.
