Default VXL clone

Is it possible to have a VXL clone motor. I bought a used motor that the seller
said was a VXL but its no faster than a brushed motor and I'm running an 11v
lipo.

Try replacing the rotor, the first thing that happens at overtemperature is the rotor demagnatizes I think.

I would agree that it is probably a toasted motor.

This might be the last time I buy used, except for cars because I can't afford a new one. lol

The VXL motor is a clone to begin with, it's a Feigao.
