That's normal, it's called "cogging", and it is what happens if you overload a brushless motor. (sensored ones can keep pushing but you shouldn't overload those either)
 
Are you using the correct battery? Is it fully charged? Is your esc programed correctly?
Do you have the low voltage cutoff set for the battery you are using?

You should read this, then read it again! Theres a lot of useful info in this thread.

Welcome to RCTALK.COM!!! :cool::thumbs-up:😁

With the motor out of the car, does the car roll freely? No binding?

I am no expert but the 120a esc seems huge for a 2845 motor. There may be compatability issues.

What kind of rc are you installing all this into?

Is the motor the correct size for your RC?

Have any gearing or tire size changes to your RC or is it all stock?
 
Low voltage cutoff is when your esc detects the minimum voltage of your battery. Looking at the picture of your battery i can not tell if its a 2s 3s or 4s. Usually esc's need to be programmed and calibrated. So if the esc is set for 3s and your running 2s battery it will think voltage is low. Did you follow the setup directions? Have you calibrated forward, neutral and reverse with your transmitter? Is your battery charged?

Battery looks like 3s by the plug. 4 wires is what I see.
My 3s also have 4 wires.
There must be better markings on that battery.

Most certainly needs to be figured out before much else happens here.

I don't think a 5900kv motor will last long on 3s.
