Took the motor apart and annoyingly broke a plastic element at the back doing so so it's trash now anyway, so I ripped it up a bit to see if I could spot a problem.
Definitely no soldered leakage inside, all good there... How would I tell any other damage to the motor? Everything looked normal!
As no one else seems to be having the problem with the ix8, and I know he motor worked on another esc before, am again confused what to try.
Is there any way of me running a diagnostic on the esc? Can I somehow emulate the current draw using a 1/10 motor?
Do LRP have a USA service function where I could get it checked?
