1515 2200kv heat issues in buggy

Yes... Make note of how that motor smells for future reference...

Castle service is second to none, but you already know that. I hope the third motor lasts a bit longer, though. Did they say anything about having a bad run of motors? It's pretty rare to have two defective motors in a row.

I'm pretty sure the first one had a different problem. The symptoms that one showed were consistent with heat damage, though I have no idea how that could happen without some kind of internal defect. We weren't even completely sure the first one had a problem but tech support said to send it in since I was sending the esc anyway, and since I live in Korea it takes a bit more time and money than a warranty claim from the US. That one was hot throughout the run and didn't have any of the other symptoms. Also it was coming out to over 2700kv but the new one was about 2216.

Bad luck I guess. Hopefully lightning doesnt strike me a third time, lol.
