May have figured out the snapped rotor shaft! I was playing around with the slipper when it happened, trying to set it so it wouldn't flip when I punched it! 3/4 turn out from locked was so loose the thing barely moved so I was tightening it up a little at a time. E-maxx slipper setup sucks! It was all or nothing and when it slipped there was a LOT of heat! 4600Kv motor on 14.4V = aprox 66,000RPM and the truck barely moving! Melted the spur to the bearing and slipper, enough to throw it off center, strip random spots and the jerking resulted in a broken shaft.

Solution - Pre ordered 5mm upgraded rotor and endbell and a pinion from Novak, purchased a Gmaxx single speed so I can run a revo slipper and Mod1 gearing!

Any input or comments appreciated!
