So i fried my tekno/Nue 1515 2.5d this week and im kind of confiused as to why.
here is the deal, i have run it less than 30 times, it has never been over 90 degrees most of the time in my revo platinum geard for 35mph on 5cell
MMM v2 always on low timeing. after tearing it down the bearings are fine, there isn't and exposed wireing that could have ground out.
when it fried it was in my hot bodies lighting, the drivetrain spins freely so there wasnt any binding and the gear mesh was fine.
so heres what happened
i gave it alittle throtle, it kind of shuttered like it coged but then took off, it went 30 feet and made a sound like an outrunner does when breaking (some of you may know, its a very diffrent sound, almost like a arcing sound) and then quit, no smoke, very little fried motor smell, but over 300 degrees and the mmm wires were 210 degrees.
after it cooled i pulled it out and tore it down, it looks fine but the rotor isnt magnetic anymore
so this is the second motor that i have fried ever, both in this buggy both with this esc, im starting to think its the esc, what do you guys think?
anyone know what Nue will charge me to fix it?
im alittle afraid to use the esc again so i guess its going back to castle too
so guys what do you think caused the motor to fail?
