Saturn 20T not working

[forestdrift]

Hi

I bought a HPI Saturn 20T motor about 8 weeks ago, has been raced a few times and now wont work.

The motor is not locked and will turn by hand, however when power is put into the motor it will not spin!

Are these throw away motors or can they be fixed?

They are sealed can I believe, so technically not openable..

just for information... the problem was that I was running the Saturn 20T motor on a Tamiya TEU101, even though the motor would spin it would not manage a whole 5 minute race constantly and would also cause extra battery drain.
