Look what happened to my motor

Bummer!
Your balls are most likely in the motor on the magnet?

Not the place you want them hangin' out..

I don't know what is holding the shaft in the center without a bearing holding it? I just can't tell if the rotor is sitting on the windings from these pictures?

To be honest, I don't know. I didn't even bother opening it up. I just boxed it and sent to Neumotor. I ordered a CC 2200Kv combo and I'm hoping to receive it by Friday next week.

Update. I received my repaired TeknoRC Neu last Tuesday. It took longer than expected because of the shipping error. The bearings were replaced and a rubber thingy(can't remember the name) was installed on the wires to prevent them chaffing.

I will be installing it either on the Gmaxx or the revo conversion. I'm leaning more towards the Gmaxx.

That sucks Lito....I recently had the same thing happen to my 1512...sent it in to Neu and they fixed it no prob....they are very good w/customer service.

Still being w/out sucks....as you said, you could always buy the castle combo

And that was exactly what I did, buy a CC combo. I was able to run the CC Neu and so far everything was okay. Too bad today (Sunday) wasrained out. It was okay though since it enabled me to finish up my last research paper .

I like the grommets for the wires...slick...I wonder if they will start doing this will all of their motors...hope so

I like the grommets too, makes it look much more clean- better than a bit of extra heatshrink tube around the base of the wires.

Lito,

I'm heading to Japan next week and will be there until the 15th of April. I'll be in Tokyo, but don't mind heading to Yokosuka if you guys have some good tracks there.

The good tracks are at least about 3 hours from Yokosuka. The Futaba track in Chiba is nice but it's a pain to go there because of traffic. The track we built onbase needs some attention and I'm hoping people will show up this Saturday so we can fix it.

Let me know if want to visit the base here.
