I have blown motors from doing jumps with a Z-car, but it's been fine with other motors, It likes tomy 2.2's but 2.6's can load the board down a little. (just has slow starts but still runs)
It's pretty hard to blow a transistor (if you are still running single cell) -Is reverse just as bad?, could be the battery/battery connectors in the car, or weak transmitter batts.
Try running your car while it's charging, check for same speed fwd/rev (sometimes reverse is faster, but usually not by much)
If the car batt is going bad, it will run real fast while charging, but slow down when the charging stops, If the batt is good, the speed should be only a little slower when the charge time is up.
If the car batt is weak, the steering will really slow it down too.
Maybe try charging with another controller (if changing the controller batts didn't work).
I have had lint pack up behind the idler gear (only found it after gear swapping with a clone)--axle looked clean, motor too..
