Gave my other car a run for the first time yesterday with new TC Speedo and a 4 Turn Brushless LRP Motor.. happily going round for 5 laps, then all of a sudden stopped dead after a jump.. still had steering etc..

When trying the throttle the lights changed on the speedo and it made a squeaking noise...

On further investigation, it was the motor, so stripped it down and inside the magnets where all smashed up inside :o and you could pull out the metal shaft that the pinion attaches too and the magnets were left inside??

Anyone else had this problem?

Its the first time the motor has been used, so abit pee'd off to be honest :(

What do people think i should do... send whole thing back or just buy a new rotor?

Cheers

Nick

It was a spare motor i had in my pit box.. bought it of here for good money..

I run a 5.5 in my pred and a 6.5 in my B4..

So considering it was bought of here.. just get a replacement rotor for it?

Cheers
