We just can't have nice things

agreed

and it wasnt overgeared or over volted

Did the winding wires get squeezed together? I had one of the first Tekno/NEU's, before they put grommets on the wires at the can. It did pretty much the same thing.

thats what i was gonna suggest. is there any chance some of the copper wire coating could have come off and windings touched? just an idea but not even sure if that would cause the symptoms you had.

it has the grommets, i opened it again this morning and looked at extensively, all the windeings that are visable look fine, i removed the wire grommets to, the wires look fine under their, bearings are great, rotor has alittle magnitisim but no where near what it should ( not a suprise after seeing the temp)

i know the heat killed the motor but i dont understand why it went from fine to dead in 30 feet

oh well, its going back to neu monday morning

i will update you guys on what Neu has to say about it
