Usually, if a motor is bad, it either will not run right or get hot for no apparent reason. But, if the motor was somehow bad (rotor partially demagnetized), it will pull much higher than normal currents, which will cause larger voltage dips therefore tripping the LVC. Could also check power connectors (on battery and ESC) to make sure there isn't a problem there, which would cause voltage drops on higher currents and trip the LVC early.
