Default ESC shutting down at WFO

I have a Parkflyers Cessna 182.

I replaced the original speed 480 (due to a crash) with a new speed 480 sold to me from ParkFlyers.

I had to solder the new motor onto the power leads (no problem).

Now when I push the throttle all the way on the motor shuts down. if I throttle back to 75%, I get three beeps (just like when I first connect the battery) and it will start spinning again.

Problem is 75% is not enough to hand launch the plane and keep it in the air. also poor performance too!

AnY ideas? I have written to Parkflyers to get their take on this but I haven't heard from them in a week. I will be trying to call them also.
