So do you think you can save it or was there too much internal damage?

two new bearings,crank,sleeve,piton,rod,pins,button head, and a plug and it will be new. with cost of parts maybe able to just buy a new motor. a 7 port Go motor from A main hobbies is 210 and will kick that motors butt any day on type of track.
