I know Castle has motor rebuild kits, not sure about Tekin, though.

maybe a bearing let go? or the rotor?

Definitely looks like it could have been the bearing(s). If you look at the rotor shaft where the bearing goes, it looks like it got burnt up due to friction. Contact Tekin and see what they say, I guess...

Not for that I'm afraid. The coil is epoxyed to the motor can. Your only choices are to send it in and let Tekin fix it or just get another unless it can be resolved as a warranty issue.

i have heard that the rotors go bad in the tekin.:nod:

yes but usually the magnets just slip on the rotor but do no damage

looks like the bearing went bad to me, the shaft is really discolored where the bearing rides

any other day of the week there are 15 tekin motors for sale.. now that i need one.. none to be had :weird:

I know this is an old thread but I was wondering what you did. The same thing almost happened to me but the coils in the cylinder werent damaged like yours. The shaft was just ate up due to a bearing (the wrap around the magnets is gone). Just wondering if Tekin makes a rebuild kit. I have a T8 2650. I have seen the brushless shafts on a main but looks like they are 1/10. They are 12.5, 13 and 14mm. Anyone know whats up?

Tekin's advertising says their motors are a "rebuildable design", but I don't see a rebuild kit listed per se. They have a live support deal via PC which I guess is available during business hours, might try contacting them that way and see what you can do -

It looks like Tekin may expect you to send it in....

Tekins service is really top notch, i sent it in for warranty, even though i bought i off this forum,, it was new however and the paypal reciept worked for a reciept,, being it was new.. doe i think it was Ty that was talking to me , said it should be covered no problem.. just patiently waiting for it to come back to me.
