Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it!

The medusa's holes haven't been a problem for me (running the 50mm 4800kv motor on 3s....:party:). Brushed motors have open endbells, and vents in the cans. They hold up just fine offroad, and if anything, they have more potential to get screwed up because the windings are moving at high angular velocities, so any incoming debris can get smacked by the arm, and possibly sever a winding. Let's also not forget about the commutator and brushes...:whistle:

The open endbell isn't a big deal unless you have a habit of running through iron filings.:lol:

Of course, if it bothers you, cover up the holes like others are doing. Problem solved.

thats why you turn the puch and timing down (or up) to tone it down..

first off, I;'m a teen making $500 a month with $100 going towards a car payment, $100+ going to insurence, and $200 going to savings, I don't have much mony left for RC, other wise, I would allready have the motor on its way here.

no sob story needed.. im 16. have peiced together 3 cars. first one took me a year start to finish. and i dont have a job- all off xmas and bday money..

its not a sob story, its just an explanation to why I'm not buying a $100 motor right now, an why I'm pissed that CC isn't going to fix my motor under warrenty.

Well, think of it from their point of view. If you have no documentation to prove you bought the item and that it's still under warranty, then they can't necessarily do a whole lot for ya. It's like going to court with no evidence... kinda pointless.

Can`t you get the motor repaired for under $50?CC does do non warranty repairs

Doh!

200$ in the savings theres your rc money lol. no need to save, just kidding:na:

OK, sounds good. I forgot completely about brushed motor running open, just gotta spray them out every couple of runs and they're good. I live about 8 miles south of Bozeman.

LOL, so true:whistle:, yes CC does non warrenty repairs, but its $45+$5 to ship it to them

i get $50/week to pay for everything (dont have a car) and im 17... took me 12 months to put together my car and saved up for a neu motor. lucky i got it when the exchange rate was at its highest point (98c/$1) now its like 70c/$1.

save up, wait some more and have fun!

65c actually :cry: now I don't feel so guilty for spending my $3000 tax return on rc stuff from the states lol. It's more like an investment :lol:

And don't expect it to go up anytime soon either...theyre pushing another 100pt rate cut within the next few months which will probably cause our dollar to drop another 10c. at 17 I guess you didn't feel the pain for us r/c nuts of the '01 exchange rate of 47c.. still cheaper to buy it from tower than getting it retail in oz lol.

Then do this :
