Mamba max getting HOT fast!

[rootar]

nope that the only motor i have/had, it smells now, kinda a burnt oil smell, mamba max cooled down really really fast after i unplugged it, it took a while for the motor.

i have the motor apart now and its definetly the rotor/magnet that smells burnt, the windings in the can right there surrounding the rotor all look burnt too. Ill try and get some pictures up. It still had a little magnet left in it, not much resistance, i spun the motor with the pinion on with my finger and it rotated 4-5 times after i let go before it stopped, when i got it from you james it would stop after 2-3 rotations after i let go.


Mike is out of stock of 9L motors could i use a XL motor of the same kv as the 9L? id like to get another motor pretty quick, if not where could i find a 9L for a decent price with FAST shipping?

Sounds like it is toast. If mike can't cant get you a 9l try steven at www.offshoreelectrics.com. Usually he has the motors in stock and he gets me stuff as fast as mike does. He has great customer service, and a great rep in the rc boating scene. Lots of cool stuff on his site too, mostly boat related. I like brushless boats too, so I usually use him for hulls and equipment.

Im having a very similar problem . When i first hooked up my MM with a 3/4 charged pack & the kit tires it worked fine. Then i fully charged the pack & put 2.2 truck tires on there & now when i pull the trigger the car takes off & then it seems like the MM applys the brakes or cuts in & out . Then i let of the trigger for a second &the pull the trigger again. It will accelerate then it does the same thing over & over again. im using a 7s with 12/46 gear & 2s lipo with the lvc set at 6.4. any ideas ?.
