Not to mention with the higher voltage, I wouldn't surprised if you're now running at 4x the wattage you were before.
problems like this do occur with airsoft motors, 90% of the motors out there are pretty junky construction.
Most likely you've got a short between the two brush hoods. Looking at pics of the ICS turbo 3000 now, they used metal screws on the brush hoods. If they have a metal retention plate or the screws are touching the magnets, that's your short right there. It'll pretty much draw as much amperage as that short will handle, which is definitely more than your lipo can supply.

Well it sounds weird to say but I do hope that's the problem, as I planned on grabbing a new one anyway. I'm trying to figure out exactly what you mean and you lost me on a few things, don't all motors use metal screws? And what would cause them to touch or get close enough to arc to the magnets? Just shoddy construction?
Also as soon as a lipo gets warm it need to be disposed of?
I wouldn't say it got hot, but definitely noticeably warm.
