Default Motor is Twitching and sputtering

Ok so this is what the problem is.
I just bought a brand new Sidewinder SV2 after installation i got it all programmed and ready to run. Then i pull the trigger on my radio......... click click click... the motor (the stock axial motor in the scx10) just keeps ticking and and twitching. If i try to help the motor spin it starts going at full speed but almost pulsing and when i start to lay off the throttle it stops and does the stupid twitching crap again.
Oh did i mention the motor smells like burning and i can see plenty of sparks inside that crap can.
Here is the equipment I am using
Stock scx10 axial motor
3500 mah 3s lipo
Sidewinder SV2

Any Ideas?

Was the motor working OK before the ESC swap?
Did you do anything else when you did the ESC swap?

Let's start with these, then go from there.
