I noticed the balance epoxy had come off one end of the rotor and smeared inside the can. Could that have jammed and caused the crack ?

Honestly?
The velinion is basically a feigao 540s there rotors are well put it nicely not as precisely made as more expensive motors and thus sometimes you get a rotor that will do 50k rpm without grenading sometimes one will go when not even going over 40k rpm.
Someone mentioned it wasn't worth putting a neu in a rustler but honestly i consider that to be a snobbish comment as in my opinion investing in a high quality motor is just that an investment assuming you look after it.
I still have a hacker c40 8s that i got back in 2002 and its as good as the day i got it because being a high quality motor i could always make sure it wasnt overheating and it could take the rpms they stated it could.
