The motor will be just fine. Swap out the speedo and be more careful.

are you sure the gtb is for sure dead? my gtx went up in smoke because SOMEONE ACCIDENTLY reversed the polarities on my battery and when i plugged it in smoke went flying all over the place and a wire unsoldered from the esc it was so hot.

If you want to take it apart there are three screws on the back of the can
