Hi guys, need some help please, I've got 2 maverick strada mt cars, well there my sons cars, 1 of them is ok but the other one the motor burned out very quickly and very easily, cars are fairly new with very little usage...any did a bit of research and found out I could change stock motor for a faster one, opted for the hpi firebolt 15t motor from modelsport as heard good things about them, they turned up today and I've changed one, easily enough to do but took some figuring out as forward was reverse and vice versa so switched the wires and was working great....for 5-10 mins! Motor internals have melted and it locked the wheels, also stinks, burned out!
Is there something I may have done wrong or needed to change, only thing I can think of is I kept the same pinion gear, or what ever it's called, think its 13t from the stock motor, should this of been changed? I'm a novice really, had a few cars here and there but never really messed...please help, my lads are desperate to get there cars out...
Thanks in advance
Sam
