castle/neu rotor stripped
 
today i did some 10 mins driving on my castle/neu motor in my truggy
and came home with this

is this in warranty ?
i think its caused by a bad bearing there was some play in the bearing

Bad bearing would make sense- the rotor doesn't look damaged really, just taken a little of the epoxy off the kevlar strands ( if it was damaged too much then the magnets would have shattered during use ). If only one bearing is bad, I would just replace it with something a little better- there are top-quality bearings for ~$1 each if you look around ( Boca bearings, or Acer ceramic bearings are great ).

Otherwise, you could pay ~$25? for a new rotor and 2 new bearings ( repair kit ), or send the motor to castle to have it inspected and the bearing/ rotor replaced if required.

How old is the motor?

the motor was 2 runs old
and i don't trust it now its stripped.
It is probably out of balance now and will eat bearing when i'll just run it

or a coupon code for free shipping ?
+/- 30 dollar shipping is pretty much.

so i could order a motor repair kit ?

I'd contact tech support and let them know what happened.
