That's where you're wrong, 5-cell mod is about the hardest thing on the electronics there is. Lower voltage means hotter motors and more amp draw. I barely use half of the capacity of my cells in my 4WD using a 5.5, and they're pretty knackered, whilst with TC to be able to last I'd need new cells every 2/3 national. Been there, done that.
Anyway this sounds to me like a shortcut issue, either at ESC level or at Motor level. Could be that when the wires were changed some solder inside the ESC went a little bit astray and is causing sparks.
