news flash....


just got the warhead together...
pretty sure i got screwed over on the 8xl ran good for the first few seconds.... then went south.


I set the truck on my floor, and fired it up-calibrated my MM, everything was good.
forgot reverse stength.... did a frontflip on my floor, WOOHOO


then shut it down, took it outside on our concrete patio.. started up just fine... went off throttle just enough to move then it locked... then noticed that the rotor had almost a full centimeter of play...


Pretty sure i got effed over in this dea.

and now im out of money so this project is postponed untill further notice.



i dont know if it was my fault or not, the motor wasnt even above ambient temp when it happpened...





now my motor doesnt spin at all and the rotor sticks out both ends equally...:no::no::no:

Wow, some people have all the luck. Sorry to hear about your misfortune! Although, that 1cm of play would've worried me from the get-go. Did you get the motor used, or from a store (looks used). Either way, I'd contact whoever you got it from because any motor should last longer than a few seconds.

bought it used, it had a little play, nothing magor...

already contacted seller, anyone have a spare motor they dont need?:oops:

Can't help you there. I'm in the market for a new motor too...

Sounds like the magnet shattered doesn't it. Unlucky.

yeah spent my last bit of money on it.. and now cant run the truck

What motor is it?

8xl..

Here goes my good dead for the year... PM me your addy and I will drop the finned can motor I have in the mail. It says that it is an 8xl, but always seemed more like a 7xl to me. No one else wants it, so it seems like you shall be the new owner. Just keep this in mind if I ever buy something from you:rules:

Be careful with the gearing you start with... Go low for the first run, and keep an eye on temps...

ah awesome, linc, i was about to send him 50 buxs for a new motor. thanks i'll keep my money now lol
