We gotta know how this happened?!Is it worth for me to call Horizon Hobby and ask for a replacement? Or should I just buy a new one or maybe Max5 combo with 1100kv motor?

Loctite
Not bad, you definitely want loctite on there ?I did use loctite on the set screw. Was that bad?
If they don’t give you a new motor I would buy the hobbywing 5687 or Hobbystar 5692 1120kv. Just use the stock esc, it’s fine. I run mine pretty hard with a 30t pinion and is far more responsive than the stock motor. Everyone will tell you to buy a max5, unless there are going to buy you one just use the stock esc...
It will if you buy the PPS-RC motor mount slide that works with the stock motor mount. Or you can buy a whole new mount from M2C Racing. Here is a video I made.I'm looking at the 5687. Will that fit on the stock mount? Also, where can I get a 25T pinion with an 8mm bore?
Thank you so much for the info! I subbed tooIt will

Will check it out. Thank you!I’ve been running these pinions https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-Mod-Pinion-Gear-10T-150T-Spur-Gear-With-Step-45-Steel-Motor-Transmission-Gear/153007681876?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&var=452811791327&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649
Or go on eBay and search for 8mm 25t mod1 and you will find some. I would buy a variety of the cheap ones. A 25t will be pretty tame, maybe go 27. 30 is about right for me but when it gets warm out I will drop a couple teeth to keep temps down.
@bicketybam has you covered with the motor mount.
Mine broke too. I’ve been in the hobby off and on (off when things break on when I have the money and time to fix what breaks) for 20 years and this is a first. No mods to the truck everything is stock.Is it worth for me to call Horizon Hobby and ask for a replacement? Or should I just buy a new one or maybe Max5 combo with 1100kv motor?
