I was driving my CRT.5 hard thru the grass the other day running, and was a bit lazy to bring down the gearing from 18/46 for spd runs to a more reasonable 14/46 offroad. I thought I'd just drive it a bit... well I pushed it too hard, one of the solder joints for the delta wiring config (this is a non-hi amp motor) melted and the truck started stutter badly. Motor was like 180F too (could be worse.)
Well I redid the solder traces, but the motor is still cogging badly and the power is weak and the motor heats up pretty fast. Has anyone had their LMT traces melt? I know I've read of some a while ago before LMTs went scarce. Did anyone else have this prob & ideas to fix it? Any idea on repair costs and experiences w/ Lehner?
Fortunately I have a 12S to put back into the CRT.5. I was wanting to race it at barnstormers on 6/8 with a few others from here. Hope it holds up.
