news flash....


just got the warhead together...
pretty sure i got screwed over on the 8xl ran good for the first few seconds.... then went south.


I set the truck on my floor, and fired it up-calibrated my MM, everything was good.
forgot reverse stength.... did a frontflip on my floor, WOOHOO


then shut it down, took it outside on our concrete patio.. started up just fine... went off throttle just enough to move then it locked... then noticed that the rotor had almost a full centimeter of play...


Pretty sure i got effed over in this dea.

and now im out of money so this project is postponed untill further notice.



i dont know if it was my fault or not, the motor wasnt even above ambient temp when it happpened...





now my motor doesnt spin at all and the rotor sticks out both ends equally...:no::no::no:

Wow, some people have all the luck. Sorry to hear about your misfortune! Although, that 1cm of play would've worried me from the get-go. Did you get the motor used, or from a store (looks used). Either way, I'd contact whoever you got it from because any motor should last longer than a few seconds.

bought it used, it had a little play, nothing magor...

already contacted seller, anyone have a spare motor they dont need?:oops:

Can't help you there. I'm in the market for a new motor too...

Sounds like the magnet shattered doesn't it. Unlucky.

yeah spent my last bit of money on it.. and now cant run the truck

What motor is it?

8xl..

Here goes my good dead for the year... PM me your addy and I will drop the finned can motor I have in the mail. It says that it is an 8xl, but always seemed more like a 7xl to me. No one else wants it, so it seems like you shall be the new owner. Just keep this in mind if I ever buy something from you:rules:

Be careful with the gearing you start with... Go low for the first run, and keep an eye on temps...

ah awesome, linc, i was about to send him 50 buxs for a new motor. thanks i'll keep my money now lol

:gasp::gasp::gasp::oh::oh::gasp::surprised:

what a guy, linc you are the man, my hat is off to you also

too bad hes offline..

Helping each other out...that is what this forum is all about...well done Linc..well done!:yes:

I was going to offer him my 9XL for the cost if shipping .

I forgot to pay you for that, didn't I... I have the funds now if it is still available...

To everyone in last few posts: thanks for the kind words. I really feel bad for BB16, spend all his money on the motor and it cooks... He seems like a good kid, and has a real passion for the hobby. No one else wanted the motor, and I got it for a good deal too. So I can pass the good will along...

For you yes it is .

aw shucks:angel:

thanks lincpimp

Great bunch of guys!

lincpimp if you want my 4-tec for parts, just pay shipping and it's yours. I think I pm'd you about it before.
PM me if your interested.

Wow. Hats off to lincpimp.:great:

dont worry girls:lol:i burn 5 motor in 2 weeks(6xl,7xl x2,9xl,11l)im really tired of cheap motor like FEIGAO...now im waiting for a new motor.....but i have to make a choice:whistle:

go all out and get a 1527. be done:lol:

Good show linc my boy, good show!

Hey lincpimp :intello:, I need a Smooth Neu 1515 to run 8S and 10S lipos :lol:. I know you are itching to give me one :lol:.

I was not aware that the itching I had was your fault. In that case you are definately paying for the movie next time...

Wow, Linc, you are really what we in sweden call a "hedersknyffel" (it basicly means "one hell of a guy"). Good to see that there´s still some decent guys around :smile:

I shattered an 8xl rotor in similar fashion. Too hard from brake to reverse, backflip action, and the rotor shattered. It may or may not have had an issue when you got it. Bummer.

Hope the 8xl from Linc fixes you up. That's awful nice of you Linc, where are you when I blow all my stuff up?! lol.


J.

jason is that the motor i traded you... my 9xl:oops:

shouldnt have got rid of it

i literally ran this motor for 10 seconds.. and it died

Nope, the 9xl is toast as well though. Death by overheating. I feel I am done with feigao's. I can't seem to make one last long enough to be worth it. I will be giving medusa a shot and see how that works out, and then the castle built neu when it shows up on the shelves.


J.

Thanks for the kind words, if you had not defined "hedersknyffel" I may have wondered if you were calling me a bad name...:lol:

You guys must be hard on them, or just get them really hot (overgeared). I have never had a feigao go over 170 and never lost a magnet.

Maybe linc knows how to gear properly...:wink:

He's got enough experience (with motors)...:wink:

Jason that motor was nice!:oh:

as long as the magnets arent shattered, can i somehow reattach them to the shaft?

You can jb weld the magnets back on, but you must have them lined up correctly to each other... I have not done this, but others here have...

I have an idea how to do it...

You have no idea Neil... I have experience with other things too! (like rejection...)

do the poles need to be indexed?

Something like that. Start a thread with that title and post pics... Others will chime in with info...

Just want to know let everyone know that the 8xl came from me and i am mending things with brushlessboy. I feel really bad, i did not know the motor would break or what ever happened so i am giving him some stuff to fix this problem.

Linc you are the man, i would have given a different motor if i had one but i dont.
But like i said the motor came from me and i intend to mend things because i am not one of those bad scammers that will screw people.

its my luck, the motor ran when i got it so its not your fault :D
higher beings just dont like seeing me with brushless motor ;)

in addition, the shocks that you sent me were pristine, no leaking, no binding :D :yipi:
