So had the whole family out bashing today and I chewed up a RR hardened pinion . Got home and found the shaft on the motor is bent. After installing a new pinion and couldn't set gear mesh correctly. I checked my sons truck as it is just as old and used as mine and found his is bent as well gear mesh was tight on just side of pinion. Not enough to chew the pinion up but you can tell it just started. What would cause this? Both ran on 4S only temps checked 3 times during runs and never over 150F. Usually around 142F to 145F. Gear mesh is checked and never tight. We don't bash crazy mainly Grass with visit to a construction site here and there. I was going to call horizon and see if they will warranty the motors.
Since I don't want to wait for a motor that long if they do warranty it so whats a good recommendation for a motor to use with the stock ESC or motor esc combo I could pickup at my LHS. They carry Castle and Hobbywing and Tekin systems. We only run 4S never will run 6. I am fine with the power that the stock system on a 15T pinion gives. A little more torque at the same speed would be nice but not required. Water proof not required either. Thanks in advance.
