Motor stopped on me but no smoke???

[gen7crawler]

Hi everyone I'm wondering why my motor stopped. I was just outside on a light night run and about 15-20min later it's dead no movement except steering. Still stock gearing. I have changed to axial steering horn and steering links, 2.2 air filled tires and changed stock suspension position. What could it have been?

Is Battery in full charged? And the ESC light up and beep sound from your ESC?

do you have a multimeter? take a reading at the motor wires when the throttle is applied, if your getting signal there then your motors shot, if not start working your way backwards.

+1 on verifying the ESC is still good.

If it's good: Sometimes, dust and debris can cover the armature on the motor and it doesn't allow the brushes to make contact or a small pebble can get in the motor and bind it up. If that's the case, a blast from an air compressor could have you running again.

It could be a connection issue. Are the wires still attached to the motor? Is the motor plugged into the ESC? Do that down the line. Then separate and test the components - a new ESC with that motor and a new motor with that ESC.

Thanks fellas so the esc is good hooked it up to my hpi Sprint 2 old brushed motor and lipo was at 7.56. obviously this stock motor is no good. Just didn't think it couldn't handle light work. I'm glad I wasn't on a real far from home

So it took some research obliviously Redcat doesn't want to tell us that the stock motor is a 19t. Please let me know if I'm correct on stock motor being 19t. Thanks

Yes and yes it does when connected to hpi motor and works fine. The Redcat motor it doesn't beep but lights up with trigger pulls.

Plugs good on motor and all electronics fully functional. I ordered two rc4wd brushed motors. 35t and 45th and also the hobby wing 1080wp esc while I was at. All stock electronics gone! I use a flysky fs-gt3b transmitter.
