I wouldn't run it again until you get the gearing way down. Be careful with the screws, the motor does spin freely? I'm worried its already fragged

Yes, the motor spins freely. I would've thought that the truck would have run, but just got hot with the higher gearing. But if it was the gearing, and it caused an issue with the 100 feet or so that its actually ran, then I agree with you on the tempermental part.
I thrashed the crap out of the one in my Emaxx in the sand over the weekend - and I bought it used from NL12 here a while back. It ran like a champ - brought the Maxx home broken!!!

My HV-Maxx is showing the lights of a locked rotor. It doesn't move even when I ran it without a load it showed the same blue & green lights. If I give it a little push it will go, but it cogs a lot. My gearing is 81T spur and 23T pinion. I had a BK 7018, Lehner Basic 5300 and ran it without a problem.
