Cutting down a motor shaft help needed

[jpoprock]

Nah... it's the same exact motor that I was running before. a 1515 2.5d, only it's got a fan on the end, and there is enuff clearance for it. Remember, my Revo has the RCM hybrid diff's, and KD Steel center shafts. It was fine before, and it'll be fine now. If I gear appropriately, I won't have any issues. I'm not going to be geared for speed, but for bashing. Lesson learned from last time!

However, it's still not been determined what caused that old ESC to flame out. Since the motor shorted too, it seems to be the likely problem, which fried my ESC. It just so happened that I was overgeared for the tires I was running, but since I didn't really get much time to run them, I think the problem was the motor. Had the motor not shorted, it would have been a matter of time before I killed that ESC because I wouldn't have remembered to change my gearing. I'm so used to running Nitro, that I totally spaced that little detail... and I KNOW better. Oh well.
