Why are you running 2 male and 1 female connector on the motor?

I think it's burnt. I had it covered up with electrical tape, and the front is covered by the motor mount/spur cover.

All male.

could it be a a little chunk of stone who scratch the winding(betwin the magnet and the winding)

That looks exactly like a shorted phase. Don't run that motor again, you might damage other stuff if you do. Give Neumotors a call to get an estimate on price and turnaround time.

Next, if your motor ever goes over 200, check everything over for problems before using it again. I am with lutach as well, send it to neu and live with the piece of mind it will be fixed and running correctly.

I knew I smelled bacon on Saturday. :na: Maybe you should stop halfway into the main and take a temp check?


I think I have my buggy worked out, wanna hit the track?

Those burnt wires definately do not look like solder to me. Looks like a bad phase. I would send it in.

It looks like something jammed the rotor (debris inside the motor, or just a really heavy load) and a stantionary rotor is just about a short - the only thing limiting the current to the motor is the ESC capability, battery capability, and wire gauge.

doesnt the MMM and MM have the auto-off feature when detecting a locked up motor?

lol, yeah, it's called melted power/motor wires and/or blown FETS. :na:

Not fair 1 point away for hitting below the belt :lol:.

lol, I guess any ESC is just a big fuse then, eh?

That motor is smoked. I did the same thing. Bad solder joint and it came off the track at 300 degrees with smoke pouring out of it. At some point it is going to fail if it hasn't already demagnetized.

Neu will replace the motor, but it will not be under warranty as the failure was caused by something other than workmanship of the motor. They have a good replacement program though. 50% off any new motor of your choice.

Isn't it kinda their fault for over tinning the wire?
