Default problem with electric motor

hello everyone, i have a small problem that i can quite fix.. not sure whats up... anyways, i have a duratrax evader st with the stock photon speed 20t motor and stock esc (love the car but getting a jato soon) , wanna try nito ! hehe, anyways, but my evader is for small time bashing (when im REALLY bored and dont have ALOT of time ya know) anyways, i took it out to run it the other day, and about half way throu the first batt, the motor started to seem like it would cut out during reverse (would require a small push for reverse to kick in) , so i swapped the batts thinking the first was totally drained (which i was wrong) and noticed that the motor was now requireing a small push to get moving, so i took the motor off and cleaned it VERY well using motor cleaner and such, put it all back togeather and still have the same prob, but now even once u get it moving, the car has NO power, it goes like 1 - 2 mph (barley crawling) and if u try and climb a hill or turn it completly stalls.... ive done all i can do (tore it completly down and such cleaned everything) nothing helps.... any ideas on what i may need todo?, i thought maybe the com needed to be cut... but it looks clean.. what do you guys think??
