Unhappy Bad motor?

I have a Saturn 27t from HPI (it is the stock wheely king motor), and I was playing with it today and got a massive cloud of smoke accompanied by the smell of burning electric. I figured out it was from the motor. as i ran it it has a massive spark jump inside the motor. So my question is do i need a new motor? If so what should I get, I would like wheel speed because I don't really crawl, but I still want good torque because my truck weighs a CRAP LOAD
