I been studying the data logs and i have noticed the rate of temp increase on the ESC is the same for the third run which i had zero problems and the run that fried so this means my setup was never the correct setup so i conclude it came down to my hard driving and barely any resting stops although the difference between my other runs and the last runs was i did have a rest after 5 minutes which is why it took about 5 runs to finally cook it because sometimes i would stop but on my 6th run i never did. Why didn't i pick this up when measuring? because by time i took the shell off it would have dropped heaps because the weather is very cold here and would not take long at all to cool to safer levels.

tldr; too much hard brutal driving and not enough cool-down time cooked my motor.
