Today I ran like half a pack (2S2P Losi hardcase 5000mAh) in it cause I forgot to fully charge it, LVC pops on. And when I pop the body off I notice that my packs are really warmer than usual, nothing crazy tho. BUT my motor wires melted, all three of them on about 4-5cm!!! Motor was burning hot aswell. MMM didn't even have its fan on, was warm as usual...
Any idea what happened? Will I be fine if I just put some heatshrink back on the wires?
thx for any help |
Definitely sounds like the windings. Make sure your leads coming out of the motor don't bend and keep them as firm as possible so they don't flop around. Movement causes the windings to fray and eventually heat will build and the motor will fail.
