Gas mark 10 = smelly electrics
Sorry to hear you may have cooked your esc / motor.
Deffo sounds like motor expired, I would borrow another motor to try on your esc to see if it still works, and be gentle with it especially if you have borrowed it !
Most ESC's 'should' go thermal i.e. if it gets too hot it will shut down to protect itself so the ESC survives even if the motor cooks.
When you do your gearing next time, gear down ( smaller pinion gear ) and check the motor temperature after a minute or two then at the end of 5 minutes use. It should really not be over 130 deg F at the end.
