Kinda like the LRP motors that suffer from the magnet coming loose from the shaft.. happens even on a 13.5 motor and I don't think there is even close to enough power for it to happen from sheer horsepower. I think it just happens from impact/shock load.

But who knows... that's just what seems logical to me.

I had an 8L go bad.. burnt windings. Then I ran the rotor from it in a Hacker C50 and that worked pretty good (very fast) but ran hot, and eventually got too hot and killed the magnet.

I don't think it's impact... My Savage which was running the 12XL that broke a magnet was run on the street ONLY, and there weren't any crashes that caused it. The truck was just driving, and then all of a sudden the motor sounded like there was something dragging inside.
