UPDATE:

Sorry it took me a long time to get back, but I have been keeping pretty busy.

Anyways, to make a long story short: my motor is dead. I think it must have been the frayed wires or just an old motor (used). I was using it in my 8ight, and I had added a Medusa heatsink in the hopes of reducing the temp. However, after about 5 minutes of medium to hard bashing (about 75-80 degree ambient temps), I started to get really bad cogging with a top speed of less than 10mph and maybe 15% power. I stopped running and checked the motor temps 190! I can't remember the esc, battery, but they were within the norm.

After stopping, I checked the motor and noticed grayish black material falling out of it. There was a good sized cylindrical chunk that fell out as well. I also believe one of my magnets came loose. Anyone know is this motor is toast? Anything I can do?


I have pictures, but they are at home. I can post them later. Thanks
