Default Is my motor done for? (Semi Noob Help)

Running a viper VTX 10 and 13.5 turn VST combo in my wraith (less than ideal I know). This set up is new, maybe 1 hour total of run time so far. I am running an external BEC as well. It has stopped working almost entirely. I can "push start" is but even then it's very glitchy. Things I have done so far, verified the sensor wire is good, removed the motor and with no load it will start and run on it's own although still not as it should, doesn't always run when squeezing the throttle. I can grab the pinion with my fingers using fairly light pressure and prevent it from running, it will just vibrate somewhat powerfully. I'm pretty sure it's toast but thought I would run it by the pro's here before laying out the cash for a new set up. Any thoughts to the contrary?

Probably toast.

Have you tried it without the sensor wire?

I did try without the sensor wire and got nothing. Tekin RS gen 2 and ROC412 3100 kv are on they way to me now.

try a different receiver and esc just to rule those out before replacing the motor
