Update on LRP X12 5.5T. After having issues with shaft length, got that resolved by changing to 008 chassis...today at around run #15 on this motor, the end bell side bearing siezed, blew the rotor, then torched the windings. The bearing can be seen frozen on the end of the shaft.

The motor ran great, had great power, and gave no signs of failure until the melt down. I've had it about 40 days....am I SOL or will they replace my motor for me?? If so, contact info appreciated.
