Default Losi 8IGHT E help

After my second run with my new Losi 8ight, the motor will not run. Makes small noise when the throttle is pulled. Steering still works. Any ideas?

I'm watching a few of those Losi motors on the track, too early to tell how they'll hold up over time.

For race performance, these guys are tops in my book: http://www.neumotors.com

what exactly is the motor doing.
Is the esc making noise or the motor.
The motor might be cogging.

it sounds like the car wants to go forward,like the throttle isnt trimmed,the green light on the esc comes on with the throttle,and the red with reverse, but the car wont budge. The noise is comming from the motor. Thanks for the help!
