Vr5fx Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 The rotor is dead. Once part of the magnet breaks it isn't fixable. What motor is it? As for the can, you won't know if it is still good until a replacement rotor is used. Clean out the can and check for damage. Looks nice and fuzzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jea Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 what make is it ? as you can get rotors for some motors.. but looking at it with a bit missing from it id think the windings will be damaged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 its a sirius 1520 1600kv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny boy Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Sirius used to sell repair kits for their motors, and ms still stock a few, none for that motor though sorry, worth looking around though! Is Sirius still around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vr5fx Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I think you are out of luck mate. Sirius motors are long gone, and Castle as far as I know have stopped making the 1520. Even though the 1520 is a similar size as the 1717, I'm not sure if the rotor would fit. Not worth the cost of trying. May as well just buy a 1717 to replace.

froggy8 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 cheers guys, will just put the motor back and test it and see how that goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vr5fx Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 To be honest mate, it wont be worth it. The motor is now unbalanced due to missing a chunk, and the rotor is missing the kevlar coating, it also looks like the top plate has shifted outward too. Any fix would be temporary. If it was my motor, I'd try to repair it, but it would probably blow after a few uses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 ok il be taking it out just for a test, what is it i need to look at? is it the temp? i know it works but lets say it cogs alot ( it only cogs when i slowly set it off) then ok fair dos, i will bin it but which motor would you recommend similar to the sirius 1520 please?

fatboyneil Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 You use it like that you risk the magnets hitting the coils and blowing not just the motor but your esc also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 cheers mate, just tried the motor and the esc wont turn on now so im guessing the motor might have fried my esc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatts Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 cheers mate, just tried the motor and the esc wont turn on now so im guessing the motor might have fried my esc Something similar happened to me when I bought a motor from hobbyking. Killed my esc the first time I switched it on. Suprisingly the motor had a small bit of metal in it despite being brand new and shorted out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
