I'm new here so please be easy on me. So I'm not sure if this is a common problem but I have 2 Senton mega 4x4s. Within 2 weeks (like 4 or 5 runs) the brushed motors went out, contacted horizon and they suggested I switch to brushless because "the motors are just going to go out again" so I got the firma 85a ESC 3300kv motor combo from spektrum as he reccomended. First truck went down due to a spur gear (my fault, improper mesh) the second truck went down today on its 3rd run (first was a 5 minute test on asphalt, second was maybe 10 min on dirt, this run was maybe 8 minutes in our yard on sand and dirt) and the brand new motor was making horrible noise and the motor shaft is wobbling back and forth and there seemed to be a lot of buildup in the motor. Does anyone have any advice? I am really regretting buying these after hearing so many good things about arrma from my local hobby shop and now 2 trucks for me and my brother and 2 motor esc combos later I'm broke. I don't want to constantly have to replace parts like a motor.
Any and all advice is helpful.
