Is my brushless motor broken? Please help

[jasjeet]

Just took out the Xray for a little bash, running the 6.5t Fusion Exceed Motor and ESC combo.
After the run i revved up the car and heard a little pop, then my Motor will not turn anymore.

The motor nor ESC where hot, they were only warm.

It makes a whining noise under power, thats about it.

What can i do? I only bought it a couple of weeks ago.

hi there have you tried turning the shaft with your fingers if it dont turn ide advise you to take the back of it may be something simple like one of your bearings have moved or poped out if so just pop it back in or buy a new set ov bearings if they are broke but if you dont feel confident taking it to peaces then take it to the shop you got it from and demand a refund :P

Thanks for your response, im panicking as i cannot afford to replace this combo it cost me £120!


Ok i got it from Modelsportuk, but i might contact Logic RC to see what they say too.

Will i void my warranty (if i even have one) if i open it up?

When i turn the motor, it feels different to before, but it does turn by hand.

Don't open the motor or take it to pieces! Likely to void warranty. Especially if you've bought from new.

Is your sensor cable plugged in properly?

Do you sense an odd smell with the ESC? If so you may have blown a FET in the ESC.

I would return back to modelsport....probably easiest ans safest thing to do.
