Hey guys... I can't take any pix, cuz my camera is at the in-laws! But I pulled my Neu the other day to take a look at it, and noticed something peculiar. Here is a picture from Neu's site showing the copper wires:

Well, on MY Neu 1515 2.5d /f, a particular section of winding is much darker... almost brownish black in color, and the other section of windings is the copper color. Like a 1/4" braid. If you took both colors and wrapped them like the picture shown. 1/4" section is copper, the next brown, the next copper, the next brown.

What could this mean?? Could that ESC fire have somehow burnt up my motor? Or did something go wrong w/ the motor causing the ESC fire??

I NEED MY CAMERA!
