Sounds like you lost a leg of the motor? (one of the three wires is not connected from the esc to the motor) have you checked the other two wires that were not "smoked" mabey one of them is at fault. Possible the wire is desoldered inside the can? (heat will conduct out of the wire to each end) if you have a voltmeter you could check the motor circuit at the esc board, take the two screws out of the esc and lift out the boards, use your meter to check the ohms between the three solder joints connecting the motor wires to the esc. They should all read 0-ohms to each other (like when you touch the tester wires togeather). Does the esc smell burnt inside? Any think look burnt?

If I could only draw what I see in my head, then afford to build it, and finaly get to play with it...
