hi peeps, been enjoying this buggy for a bout a year, eventually the motor bearings gave way, and took the rotor with it. i installed this replacement motor
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=28668

on the first run, the stock esc let the smoke out. can someone suggest a replacement esc suitable for that motor, and please explain why this happened. i obviously made a mistake choosing that motor, but not sure exactly what.
looking forward to getting it running again, so thanks for answers

Forget those messy nitro engines and upgrade your 1/8th truck or buggy with the Turnigy TrackStar 2650kv Brushless motor. Combine this motor with the Turnigy TrackStar 150A ESC for the ultimate 1/8th EP experience.

Copy and pasted the description. As far as smoking the esc I'm not sure I know the stock motor is 2200kv vs this 2650kv could be a factor. Or the strain of pushing a blown motor could have been it as well. It's hard to tell with out actually seeing it first hand I'm just shocked that you smoked yours I am goin on my third year with the Orion setup

hi rocket
yeh, that esc had been really reliable up to that point, i think the higher kv, and the fact that it is a 6 pole may have caused it to smoke. that trackstar has mixed reviews, may go with the ezrun 150?

check the motor bearings. i had this happen, replaced the bearings and got another 4-5 months out of it before it completely gave up

Check with Kyosho to see if your engine is still under warranty. They have a great warranty on their stuff.

It's an Orion motor I'm not sure if Kyosho would cover another brand I would check with team Orion and usually if its not warranty you can pay less to have them repair it than buy a new motor. And if they repair it then it breaks immediately then there's a freh warranty claim in your favor

Sorry for the failed response collective. As far as speed controls go I've never had to replace one so I don't know ez run and track star. I've had good luck with my Orion vortex and good luck with castle on my mini. I have been itchin to try the tekin rx8 system I hear its gnarly in a 1/8 buggy

I think this was about the 5th time I've run my Inferno. I seem to have a problem with the grub screw, that holds the cup behind the front diff, backing out. It happened the first time I ran it, so I added some locktite... seemed to fix the problem for a while. Then after a maintenance overhall, again this time using the locktite, it backed out on me again.

Is this a common problem? If I just replace the screw would that be enough to fix it?

It's starting to annoy me because I lose all drive in the car when this screw has backed out....
