Well I got the motor direction figured out, took it out to make sure everything was working properly. Everything seemed fine, just driving around in circles @ about 5-10 mph. Heard a nasty grinding noise, then nothing- gears obviously not touching any more. Not sure what happened, had the pinion threadlocked on there. Brand new motor, been powered on twice. Now what do I do? Will tp warranty this?

Yeah, I bought it from tp directly. Think they'll warranty the motor? I made sure to triple check the gear mesh & everything seemed good. That pinion got chewed up after it broke off.

Bad news, no warranty. Good news, you can buy just the rotor. I contacted them through Facebook and got an answer almost immediately. Could have been fatigued already but that happened to me when I tried to stop the car from over 120 mph. Be careful when you take it apart. Don't mess up the spacers and shims for if/when you have to put the new rotor in.

Well, I'm keeping my incredible hot streak of destruction going this weekend. Decided, against my better judgment to run the pseudo tlr w/ the spektrum & the bent motor shaft. After a solid 20 minutes of ripping around it just kinda seized up & quit moving. It would roll on only front or rear wheels, but not on all 4. Figured it was the center diff that I just put in- nope. Took out the motor & could immediately smell the cookedness, opened it up & let's just say now I'm down 2 motors in one afternoon!! Jenny's here I come

Broke a drive shaft last time it went out. Can't beleive it, nothing broke this round. Sealing the power modules on these 3s rigs is a must!

Also, I can't beleive that little Mega slipper is still holding on!
