What motor should I replace it with. I was happy I guess with what was in there stock. I had a 14.4 lipo pushing it.

I tried breaking in my new speed motor, and the piston just kept locking up. And I guess I smoked the motor. I pulled the motor out.

How do you get the pinion off the stock motors ??????

I have some old stock slash motors. They are not up to racing ( its more like bashing with xponders) anymore, but I thing they might be just fine.

just call Horizon and they will give you new motors but they will blow with the Lipo. Every one I know that runs the Losi box blows the motors, Alot of people end up with Ofna motors in the box.

Stocker's on lipo will last just fine...as long as your not stalling them or trying to start it backwards or something as such a N00b pitman might do.

I guess me and every one I know that has the Losi box are noob? You run Lipo and Try to Break in a new Race motor with a losi box with out pre heating your motor or even with pre heating your motor and the stock motors will blow. Even Horizon knows there is a problem thats why they dont ask any questions when you call for new motors.

The stock motors in my Losi box lasted over 18 months, and this last year it ran off the Losi 14.4v Lipo pack. I lost count of the number of Dynamite, GRP, and OS engines it broke in, my own motors and numerous other guys' here. Never had to heat up an engine to break in...

You can not push down and hold with this box, and you really shouldnt with any box anyways. Guaranteed to burn up the motors. I just bounce mine off the wheel quickly about 5-10 times, and they fire right up.

If your engine is new and has too much pinch, you should be loosening the plug and let it spin with no pressure. It does no good to put the ignitor on the plug, and press down and hold for 13.5 minutes, and let it just turn over without firing. If the engine doesn't fire right away, something is set incorrectly.

Nothing wrong with Losi box, you do need to re-wire it if you're using LIPO though.
