i dont know if castle sells a rebuild kit but most likely no but you could crack it open and see if any dirt or rocks got in there by chance |

Chances are if you hear something rattling around and there is grinding and stuttering the magnets have come apart. Not sure if Castle sells replacement magnets but it can't hurt to give them a call and see. They may even fix it for a reasonable fee.

did a quick google image search and didn't come up with much. Just this: http://www.rctech.net/forum/attachme...ts-cropped.jpg Also found this on taking it apart to change the bearings, it may help: http://monster.traxxas.com/showpost....8&postcount=15 Maybe try googleing a little more and see if something else pops up.
