So my front motor bearing exploded on my Kraton 4s, and the motor seized but I took it apart right away and this is what I’m left with. There is some scratches on inside of the motor, but the Kevlar wrap seems to be fine on the rotor. There is also a piece on the inside of the motor that looks bent which you can see in the pictures. Would you advise me to get a new motor? Or could I just buy a new set of bearings for it?

I see that there is a couple different types of bearings, would I be better off with something like rubber sealed? Or metal shielded? And also what about ceramics?
