So Arrma very kindly sent me a new motor which I hooked up this morning and.....it's not the motor. Unfortunately. Like yours my motor looked basically ok inside too. So I guess it has to be the ESC. Took the ESC off and it looks normal and smells ok (not burned) but I guess something inside it just let go. Anyway, hoping Arrma will send me a new ESC. I'll keep you updated for those that are interested.I have the same exact issue occurring after some BIG sends at the bmx track yesterday. Motor jammed\cogged up after jumping it big. Took the motor apart and nothing looked damaged, (how do I know if the bearings went bad in the motor?) also wondered if the shaft could be bent after some hard hits. Could I just replace the bearings and that might fix the issue?
View attachment 109315This is what my motor looks like taken apart. Could I replace the rotor by chance instead of having to buy a new motor?
Mine sounds the exact same.
