I have had an issue with a motor failing during a huge race. I was furious but Nick was a champ and got me taken care of. I would be one of the loudest kittens if I didn't get my milk. Great company, great service.

Viper VF8.27 broken can
Many thanks to all! micrors4guy mtpocketsracing synap2012 
i'll follow your advice, I do hope the team at Viper's will help better than my first mail... 
I attach a pic of the crack, it goes around the can but the rear still holds somehow
I'm still looking for info/experience on that failure

Viper VF8.27 broken can
The chassis looks fine, just a small scratch (it's new, easy to spot), so it could have touched the can, it looks possible. Yet, it's quite a light scratch... The can would have popped just like that, on a contact with the chassis?!! It could also come from the rotor load combined with an initial weakness at the joint of the can's two parts... There must have been a weakness, otherwise I find it incredible, anyway 
. We have two rather big jumps, but I never had any problem of that kind so far, even though my previous motors where of a different design (Dynamite, Castle) you can also find in bashers stuff.
Have you ever had that kind of problem?
