Outcast Outcast 4s help please

I am wondering if the shredded pinion was caused by a motor bearing failing.

Was helping a friend idenitfy why his Typhon 3S would turn on ut not drive. Took a little while but eventually worked out a motor bearing had failed and there was no way the motor was going to turn over. Was sorted under warranty.

He gave it back to me when I picked the truck back up.. But I picked it up after work when I got home threw batteries in it put it on the ground Drove it threw my house out the front door and gave it a little throttle then everything stopped and when I gave it throttle again Just a loud humming sound maybe the pinion came loose ? What do you think ? Lol seems I can’t catch a break

Sounds like a loose pinion or mabye the motor mount screws werent tight enough and the pinion in no longer meshed with the spur.

The old motor likely has a failed bearing. If the rotor hasnt done any damage to the stator, you might be able to resurrect it with a clean and some new bearings.

He told me there was damage.. didn’t hesitate to give it back so I’m sure it’s toast. I will check later and post pics thanks man
