If you've read the Santa pod topic you will know that my 24v c5 "Voodoo" died on the drag strip
Having taken the motor apart I found that the magnets had come away from the motor casing and were in contact with the armature, causing the motor to "lock";
This is fairly rare but not unheard of. However, on closer inspection of my stash of spare motor casings I noticed this;
It seems that the armature hitting the outer magnets is more common that I first thought.
Raises the question , is the resin starting to fail due to age ? And also, is this an additional cause of some c5's being quicker than others ?
