Default Motor issue (mount or graphite chassis?)

Anyone ever come across an issue with either an alloy motor mount or graphite chassis causing a brushless motor to stop functioning.

Car in question is a VBC Racing Wildfire D06 touring car chassis. Motor is a Speed Passion Competition 3.0 10.5R.

The motor when not mounted in the chassis spins up fine in both directions. Mounted it will no longer turn (just clicks in both directions). Its not the motor mount screws, i've backed them out and also removed them completely just holding the motor in place. Move the motor away from the chassis and it functions perfectly again.

Can the alloy mount become magnetised and cause it ? This is the first carbon chassis i've worked with, something there causing it ?

Any advice to solve this will be much appreciated.

Thanks Richard
