Default 480 Park motor problems

I moved the shaft from front to the back of motor. Motor installed from inside of motor box. I flew the plane a few times that day and one day since. Then I dumb thumed it into the ground. I rebuilt everything but when i tried the motor it made a loud squealing noise. It got better though after a few times of throttle up and down. I went to fly it and it flew a trip and i needed to adjust on it. Took back off and the motor quit. I landed and the motor was very warm Very warm. I thought batteries were down. I hit throttle and it was as though it was locking up kinda. It really would not turn as it should at all. Like it was in a great bind of some kind. Would a bent shaft do this? It just would not turn made kinda a ratcheting noise and the prop would just move a half turn or so. Thanks for any help the motor is only a few flights old. PARK 480 40amp e-flite, 2100 TP Addiction plane.
