You probably have some type of resistance in the flex shaft or bushing causing a excessive load. Lube your shaft. Holding the trigger for 3 min. pinned? I've been beating the poop out of my t180, pulling some amps for sure at short burst and its working like a swiss watch. Thats a good esc. Do you have Extra caps which help? Decent batteries w/ good c rating?? Are you using a BEC or rx pack?? There are alot of factors. Buy new and try it again!! You shouldn't have a problem w/ that setup. IMO. Later, MM.
