Justin,
Ok just came back from my LHS and when I told the guy what it was doing he imediatly said new motor. He said he replaces brushed motors every month...Wow
It was too late to fly when I got home so I'll try tomarrow. The new motor has a 10t pinion on it but my old has a 9T. Does this matter? How will it affect motor wair and performance?
I have heard that the 10t with the lipo will strain the motor since it is not strong enough to run headspeed gearing that high without overworking itself....
I would try to get the 9 on it....go with stock since you have already been having so much trouble...imho
