Was it the motor or ESC?

I think the 30 amp ESC was a bit low for this setup. What prop were you using?

Here is a link to an online calc tool for electric motors.

May have had a little to much prop on it. Do you have a watt meter?

I have let the magic smoke out a few to many times, so I can relate to your feelings.
