Alternative motor???

[TruckBasher]

I just had another run today and this time I managed to get to the point where it dont want to go...not sure why but thats half the story. I think I am not familiar with the thermal state of MM if it was really the MM.

I have at least 25-30mins of play (as always), I noticed the motor got hot and the battery ESC are also hot....but I want to push it so 5 mins stop and she's off doing hill climbs and bashing stuff then it stopped, at first i thought LVC kick-in cause i set it a bit high (correct me but im not sure if its LVC or thermal) after a few minutes or so i heard the TX sync of MM and she's off again. Finally after another 5 mins she stop. I opened the body and noticed that MM is still turned on but motor is way too hot as well as battery. If i hit the throttle you just see the green/red LED on MM for forward/reverse but its not moving. I thought the motor is a goner so i packed and went home. After I got him I decided to test it again and the dmn motor worked..still got its punch so now..im not sure if it was the motor or the ESC. But I guess this motor is tougher than I thought.

Maybe others could shed light on what happened but I think motor still working fine.
