Ran on 3s for 15 minutes, Temps 140 motor 118 esc and 85 lipo. Worked well until the end when I think I spun the pinion or the slipper. Motor spins but no movement, I will look into it after I give the kids a bath.
Same thing happened to my son's XS and it was the pinion gear coming loose.
Yup, It was loose and had no loctite. Put some blue locite on and slapped it back together. You can tell by looking at the holes on the motor that they had a hard time lining it up and getting the bolts in at the factory as you can see where they missed the holes and made marks in the can.
