Default GWS engine problem

I recently built a GWS Zero with the 350 motor. I installed a Castle Creations Pixie 20P 20 amp ESC and am using a 3 cell 1200 mAh Li-Poly battery. On the 7th flight I pulled into a vertical climb and the engine cut off. After an hour or 2 of tinkering, I've concluded that my motor is toast. I can plug the battery (fully charged) directly into the motor but get nothing. Is a 20 amp ESC too much for these motors, or am I making another mistake? Thanks.
