wow this came as a huge suprise to me today. This would be the third thing i had break in a couple days counting the fridge, my thumbwheel on my dx3s and now my beloved 1406 has jumped on board and decided to give me s#!% too. This being the only of the three i couldnt fix is whats pissing me off. This thing has ran like a raped ape from day one but today I switched the rash over to my dx3s and was setting the endpoints and what not, calibrated the speedo an picked the truck up to see how the startup was with and without load. Motor was making horrible noises so i shut her down right away. upon further inspection a found the rotor very tough to turn so i opened her up and this is what i found inside(see pics). The center race and the cage and all dropped out after i took the photos and now the outer race is stuck in the motor endcap. CRAP!!
Havent checked but does castle sell rebuilds for the 14xx line yet? or will the cm-36 style rebuild work?
