xcelorin 7.5T smoke
Decided to just check things over before tomorrow and now when I run the motor I get a burning smell and smoke. About 30 seconds running.. What the hell is gone wrong now
 Checked the wires and all looks ok. It gets very hot quickly, motor is just getting hotter and hotter Looks like I won't be racing for a couple of weeks now Spektrum / KO Helios LRP SPhere TC LIPOS and NIMHs

Sounds like one of the sets of windings is burning out, or is shorting slightly. Take/Send it back IMO.
Otherwise check that the wires match up correctly from the speedo to the tabs. If it sounds quite noisy, then you may have some of the wires matched up incorrectly, which means that the rotor is not turning properly (if you see what I mean). It would also explain the motor getting hot! Check this first!

Could be the rotor going/magnet. Would also explain it getting hot. Have you possibly overgeared it, or not run it yet?
Horizon deal with Losi electrics. PM Southwell on here for more info. HTH Mark

Sounds faulty to me then....
Must be shorting out internally somewhere on one of the windings.

Not heard of other people with this issue! I have two of them, which are fine!
You must just be one of the unlucky ones.. The previous owner may have given it some abuse, which you didn't know about... Just trying to help dude! Regards, Mark
