Sand + brushless motors = BAD! Anybody have a motor for me?!? - 03.15.2006, 01:20 PM

Alright so im down in FL again with the 9920/9xl powered e-revo (I will try to do my best to get the vids hosted this time...although there are not as many good ones this time).

Anyway... I dont have a motor clamp (probably would have saved me in this case) but I had the wires that are coming out of the endbell electrical taped as well as taping the end so if the end popped it wouldnt get sand in it. Well apparently there was a bit of sand that crept inside during a double backflip attempt landing. This is my second (and last!) time of getting sand in the motor. It just dosnt spin hardly at all (locked rotor im assuming). I was considering trying to used compressed air to clean it out but I am assuming there is no way I can get it to perform properly. So now im hunting for a new motor. If anyone happens to have an extra motor (be it feigao or wanderer L or XL) I would be more than willing to help clear it from your parts box if you know what I mean! Worst case scenario ill just pickup another new one from mike. I think I might be selling the e-revo once I get another motor in it as I really do prefer the smaller 2wd 1/10 stadiums as I can make them SUPER lightweight.

Anyway if anyone has an extra motor or suggestions on cleaning and/or what motor to try next let me know! I only run on 14 cells and was thinking about either another 9xl or possibly an 8xl.
