death of a tekin

[itsachevy]

well today I finally killed my tekin t8 2650. I was playin with the mamba max x esc turning the brake up. went to go test the brakes on the hill they worked perfect ( lol ) went to the drive the car back to me and it completely stopped moving. went inside and took the motor apart and there was no magnets on the rotor so I think that's the problem .ill be ordering a new one tomorrow and a posiden 2650 and 1/5 scale 2250 motor also from prosiden. I post pix a lilte later

How on earth could that happen? Extreme overheated?

I think i turned up the start power on the mamba max x up to medium and grp tires were super sticky. So testing the brakes and heat lead to the death of the motor. Ima call tekin and see what they say

Still that should not happen. But it shows the stresses and heat, which can be generated by the mamba max.
Amazing!

I just got off the phone with tekin and that said that it not a common problem but it does happen. I still stand behind tekin. that being said the motor sweet spot is on 3s and running on 6s for 6 months trying to reach a hundred. I just need to rebuild the rotor glue failed. I guess I got to treat the motor like a car engine and should take it apart and check stuff more often. I blame myself for this happening so ima fix it myself instead of using the warranty . good product bad maintnce and abuse by me
