okay i got the problem with the new stock motor figured out...

appearently i forgot about the lil thing they call "break in" and just ran the shi tout of the motor
well i tore it down (just finshed) took the armature and all that out of the can and come to find out one of the brushs was stuck to the com, but it was easy enough to get unstuck.... so i cleaned everything and made it all pretty again, put it back togeather, and it works.... perfect.. almost... i have noticed it takes the ESC a few seconds to become ready (for green light t ocome on) but im guessing thats just the esc aquireing the signal from the transmitter...

and, yes its still the stock reciever, and stock transmitter...
how can i tell when the transmitter batts are low any advice?

also, can someone explain what the diff between a "hand wound" and "machine wound" is ? (with motors and turns)
and also, what does "single wind" and "double wind" mean?

Thanks for all your advice guys!
