From what you say there's no reason for ESC to burn out. Only problem is you didn't say enough, TYPICAL. You did npt say what battery voltage was only that it was 350? MA. Sort of unusual size capacity?? Also ypou didn't say where you plugged ESC into? Also what kind of motor and ESC, brushed/ brushless? If anyone needs help they MUST provide info.

the electrics are for a profile foamy thats why the batery is only 350 mah 11.1volts the esc was brushless with a brushless motor of ebay http://cgi.ebay.com.au/RC-EP-1300rpm...QQcmdZViewItem
the esc was pluged into the motor through the 3 esc plugs to the motor and the bec lead was pluged into the throtle port on my spectrum AR6100e receiver, the esc was out of a parkzone typhoon 3d so it does not realy have a brand name on it
thanks
