Running when geared too high and/or with a partially demagnetized motor will harm the ESC and even your batteries. The coils need the rotor spinning to develop back-EMF and if the magnet is weak, those coils are looking more like a straight piece of wire.

Unless the solder joints were done crappy, desoldering wires is a sure sign that wayyy too much current is being pulled.
