OK - couple of questions.

1) Would Losi typically replace a motor that failed in this time frame? Just looking for an opinion, obviously.
2) If not, what is a good drop-in replacement? I don't think I can swing a brushless system right now ... but also don't want to be in the same situation again in a month or two, so I'll do what is necessary if need be
3) Is this truck just not durable enough to be driving around the yard and cul-de-sac? I don't think we're rough on it. No jumps or anything. A roll in the grass every now and then.
4) If I needed to go brushelss, can someone point me in the direction of some info on what I'd need to buy?

Thanks all for the advice!
