So I had a BLX 2050kv stop woorking after my 116 mph run. Figured it had given me all it had so I was okay with it. When I opened it to take out the ceramic bearings I had installed, I noticed the magnets and windings looked clean and unharmed. Closer inspection showed that the three sets of copper wire that make up the winding, had come unsoldered at the very end near the rear end cap. Obviously, the heat from running that motor over 100 mph repeatedly had finally taken it's toll and there will little balls of solder spread out in the area. So anyways, I cleaned it up then I took some high heat solder and fused them back together. Put a little heat shrink over the area to keep it separated from everything else in the can. Buttoned it up and gave it go. Presto, it's spinning again and smooth as silk. Not sure how effective my soldering will be, and I already threw in another 2050kv in the Typhon with the cap that has the ceramic bearing in it. What's the consensus, run it or not?
