Default esc compatability

I salvaged my 480 kv brushless from a bad crash that fried my 18 amp esc. I installed the motor in a new plane with a used 30 amp esc. the result is the motor barely turned and both esc and motor heated up. I quickley disconnected battery. How can I tell if the problem is the esc or the motor or both from the crash? Can you use a larger esc then is necessary for the motor?
