It seems that my diff problems are gone. I am down to 70% on the ESC's punch control. But now I have a new problem and it's bumming me out. We were out playing for about 18 minutes when I had to go turn over my son's ERBE that was on its lid. When I got back to my LST, I hit the throttle and this loud sound came from it, like some terrible cogging. The truck didn't move much, I let off the throttle right away and noticed a small puff of smoke coming from the truck. I ran over to it, ripped off the body, disconnected the batteries.

The ESC looked fine and so did the lipos. I got close to snif around and the burnt smell came from the motor. Looks like I may have fried my Neu 1521 1Y.

It's the first time I fry anything, I'm not sure of what I should do. It looks like there's little grub screws around the edge of the can but I don't have anything that fits it. Not that I could do anything if I could open the motor but I would've liked to see inside if I can detect what burned. I took a pic of the end bell and some burnt wires can be seen in one of the holes, but I don't know if that is the damage or just from the soldering when manufactured. This was bought at Offshore Electrics and I can't find my proof of purchase..



No brain, no headaches.
