Think I burned up the stump puller in my MRC?

Sorry, noob here to brushed motors.
I've got a Reedy stump puller in one of my MRCs, and it started smoking today when I was running it... Now it won't run.... lol
It is apparently rebuildable- Would replacing the brushes possible fix this problem??

Probably not. Every motor that I have smoked or seen smoked are usually toast.

awesome lol
Thanks for saving me the trouble

Smoked bad enough burns the insulation (usually like a varnish) off the winding wires creating shorts....not good.
You also tend to kill some oomph from the magnets as well.

So, unless it's a GREAT motor (which may be worth getting rebuilt), use it as a paperweight and buy another.
