THE EDJ

So I'm having this problem with my DT. The truck will only run for about 5-6 seconds at a time, which at that point, the motor is slowed to a complete stop. This happens in any position; in the air, wheels free to move, and on the ground, rolling, forward and reverse. I have no idea what the problem is. I'm running the LOSI brushless ESC, 10250 kV motor, JR micro servo, and a Team Associated RC18 radio and receiver. I've configured the ESC so many times, hoping that it will solve the problem, reset it, and reset it, and reconfigured it again. And again. No solution.
It's been like this since the day I bought it. Originally there was a bridged solder joint, connecting the negative from the battery (black wire), and the negative wire to the servo (brown wire). I removed the bridge and resoldered the wires, but it didn't solve the problem.
My batteries are charged, the remote has full battery, the ESC is getting power... everything should be working fine, but it's not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've put a lot of money into this truck and it's being held back by some stupid little problem.
