Losi 1.0, 2.0, Xray XT8, MBX5T
All are 1700kv motors on 5S running either Zippy 30C/40C 5000mah, Hyperion G3 35C/65C 3300Mah and 4200mah or even A123 6S2P
All temps are normal. Nothing showing extra stress on the motor.
All cars are under 10lbs RTR
80% of the cars use RCM slipperential.
All geared 38-43mph
Different cars, different driving styles, same motor issues.
All I did was change T8 with Neu 1415 and I am sure it will last forever. As I used to run Neu 1512 2050kv on 5S in my mugen and no issues. The Neu 1512 used to be in ma heavy bashing maxx and went throught lot of stress with flying colors (including hammering stuck pinion) and still works great.
Rest of the guys will follow as I dont see a single reason how can our setup cause loose rotor as most failures differ. Sometimes just magnets separate, sometimes just the front spacer along with couple pieces of the rotor.
With the rotor being made from so many pieces the glue is not strong enough.
