I was definitely putting the rig through the paces....lol. The Blitz kit was just released and I was doing a bash test. This landing was not out of the ordinary. It was not some 12 foot drop of any sort. But nonetheless it stopped after the little jump and rough landing. Even though Castle has superb customer service in my experience the durability of these particular motors leave some to be desired. I wish medusa had not stop producing motors for us. Im not really will to spend $200 on a Neus as I need about 3 good motors....any other suggestions other then VXL motors that you guys suggest for good temps in the 3500kv area??

Get in line for the medusa alternative.

That kind of info should have been included in the first post, would have saved a lot of time diagnosing the problem..

Something like a feigao 9L would work, or one of the Tenshock motors might be good:

Obviously feigao motors areht all that great, but then again a vxl motor is a feigao anyway, so...
