I think I just fried my 1/18 Mamba 6800 Motor - 12.30.2006, 12:32 AM

I was running in the snow and had use saran wrap to seal up my chassis. I came in after ~15 minutes (3S 1500mah Lipo's run forever...I think I've gotten like 40 minutes of full throttle before). Anyway...the motor was SO hot that it waws able to melt a pretty large chunk of snow and then boil it into vapor!!!

OOPS!!!

I took it for a run today and left the motor completely exposed. It ran cool (ambient temps ~10* F). It seemed to run fine, but I can't tell until I get some traction. Snow driving with a Mamba 18T mostly involves rally-like driving over ice and flat, packed snow).

So...is my motor fried? It seems ok while driving, but logically I would think it shoul be toast.

PS. Its awesome rallying around on the packed snow...I love the 4 wheel rooster tails...
