Hi arrma forum I have a v2ish kraton 6s that I just finished rebuilding. I finished it yesterday And ran about half of a battery pack through it when I ended up destroying my pinion. In the moment I assumed that I messed up the mesh when rebuilding it. so today I took out the destroyed 14 tooth and put in a new 13 tooth and made sure that the mesh was set right. I lifted up the car and slowly gave it throttle and at about 75 percent throttle it locked the entire drivetrain. At this point I assumed that the motor or new pinion shifted slightly and locked it. However after more inspection the motor decided to implode but I have no idea why it didn’t break yesterday when I was running because I was a bit aggressive with it. Now I am out a motor and this is really starting to piss me off because I just dropped around 700 on a new Max 6, agf 55 kv servo, 2 6s zee battery’s, rpm a arms all around, hot racing front knuckles, rpm wing mount, hot racing shock stand offs, all new bearings,screws,and fluids, 2 rocket rc 21000rpm fans and a diff rebuild kit. So if you guys have any ideas of why this happened and if it was anything I did wrong and how to fix it next time. Also any recommendations for a new motor and better pinions. Also ignore how crazy dirty the car is I hit some mud yesterday when I ran and Haven’t had time to clean it yet
