Thanks for the kind words, if you had not defined "hedersknyffel" I may have wondered if you were calling me a bad name...

You guys must be hard on them, or just get them really hot (overgeared). I have never had a feigao go over 170 and never lost a magnet.

Maybe linc knows how to gear properly...

He's got enough experience (with motors)...

Jason that motor was nice!

as long as the magnets arent shattered, can i somehow reattach them to the shaft?

You can jb weld the magnets back on, but you must have them lined up correctly to each other... I have not done this, but others here have...

Just want to know let everyone know that the 8xl came from me and i am mending things with brushlessboy. I feel really bad, i did not know the motor would break or what ever happened so i am giving him some stuff to fix this problem.

Linc you are the man, i would have given a different motor if i had one but i dont.
But like i said the motor came from me and i intend to mend things because i am not one of those bad scammers that will screw people.

[brushlessboy16]

its my luck, the motor ran when i got it so its not your fault :D
higher beings just dont like seeing me with brushless motor ;)

in addition, the shocks that you sent me were pristine, no leaking, no binding :D

There was another user a while back, AAngel IIRC, that had terrible luck with ESCs. No matter what he tried, he'd burn them up. I guess motors are your Achilles heel.

Don't feel bad. This is how things go sometimes. I'm sure the motor was fine, but being a Feigao we know they won't last forever. I have many Feigaos with cracked magnets, unglued magnets and ones that just runs hot. It's nice to know that we have such a nice group of guys and that makes everyone here comfortable buying things most of us don't need. This is by far the best Forum.
