Busted Motor or ESC?

[Yammo]

So take out my outcast today and I plug her in run her around for like less than a minute then I run up to a jump nice and smooth plan on backflippin and the car slams on the brakes midair. When I get to the car it’s clearly acting weird when I hit the throttle it’s acting like it’s got a lot of resistance and acting like it’s got 100% drag brake where the motor is locked up with no throttle applied. Took a short video of the issue showing the motor acting crazy with the motor slid to the side disengaged from the spur gear. Was thinking it’s the ESC sending wierd signals to the motor till I got home and slid the motor pinion back towards the spur and realized even when the ESC was turned off the motor was still locked up. Anyone know what’s up?

Motor bearings?

Pull the motor and take the end cap off. Looks fried.

If it is just bearings. Check out Jim's bearings website he sells blx motor bearing kits for $5 to $20 depending on which ones you choose

Definitely looks like a bearing failure as stated above.. time to pull it apart and get a good look..

Most likely your Kevlar wrap exploded for whatever reason, typically dirt going through bearing.... Ask me how I know
Bearings typically don't seize mid air, take it apart.

Haven’t had to take apart a motor yet not Sure what a Kevlar wrap is or how to go about fixing it. Also anything I need to worry about messing up when taking it apart or is it relatively fool proof?
