Then I'm good- I'll check the bearings in the car again and add the heatsink. Hopefully that will solve the problems. I just hope it wasn't too damaged by the 200 F temp.:(

I may try the heatsink. By the way- what was the deal with the rotors in the 1/8 tekin motors? Was there something wrong with the older ones, and you could send in the motor to get it replaced?
