Motor cuts out at full throttle

[docsis76]

My eletric RC cars runs great, unless I give it full power. When I squeeze to full throttle the motor just cuts out and stops. If I release the throttle and then re-engage it the car will move again, as long as I do not go to full throttle.

Do you guys have any advise on what would be causing this issue. The motor is NOT brushless.

XTM X-Cellerator Electric 1/10 ST RTR w/ESC. I believe it has a 20 turn motor. I purchased it 2 years ago and it is all stock.

Could be the motor is just wore out.

Could be the motor is just wore out.

+1 Sounds like it is loading up and shorting out at full voltage.

Does that mean the motor is bad and needs to be replaced, or it is a problem that is fixable.

Yea, Motors are pretty cheap.

If it's not sealed (but I am sure it is) then you can replace the brushes but then there is the issue of turning the comm. That requires either a comm lathe or A LOT of hand work. Like the other guys suggested--20 turn cans are cheap so buy two! Good luck!
