So the motor on my Typhon 3S appears to have died. Took the motor out as I thought originally maybe the spur or pinion gear had sheared teeth (which happened to me once already) but no joy. Under full power the pinion spins slowly for a brief period of time then stops altogether. Buggy is four months old so this is pretty disappointing. This is backyard bashing not full send craziness. Sent an email to Arrma warranty support to see what they say. My question for you guys is if I have to end up replacing the motor out of pocket should I get the same AR390214? Maybe I got a dud but this thing seems pretty poop to me. Is there a better alternative plug and play motor for 3S? My understanding (but correct me if I'm wrong) is the stock ESC is only good up to 3S. Should I do a 4S ESC and motor swap? What do you guys think I should do? I want it to have reliability first and foremost. I'm tired of something breaking everytime I use it. Thanks
