Motor started "stuttering" and the car basically stopped.

And this fell out of the motor
Seems like a small piece of solder.

Is a Spektrum Firma 4074 2050Kv that's about 4 months old, and had about 75-100 packs through it.

If you're in the US, Jenny's rc can provide a new one for about $50. Not sure if you're using a motor fan,if not, I'd suggest one.
Can't say for sure what happened to the motor pictured, but looks like it may have gotten too hot.
The Spektrum motors aren't really worth fixing, IMO for $50. Bearings are the only replaceable parts in these lower end motors. If you don't have a temp gun, china(harbor) freight sells them pretty cheap.
 
My motor get toasted way the it was only dust from two magnets unfortunately it was 1520 castle motor shame but they advertise as 8s motor didn't last me 15 minutes but they agreed to replace one under warranty
