I ran this motor once in my Traxxas Bandit, and it blew up. I found there's a serious weak point in the copper fingers that hold the brushes. They don't have near enough material thickness to hold the brushes in place, I've had 6 of these motors now, and on every one that's what broke. My gearing is correct according to Traxxas specs, springs aren't set too stiff, but I drive it like I stole it. What good are they if you can't rod on them? I actually took apart a 10.4 volt Hitachi cordless driver. Guess what? Same exact motor minus the Titan 12T sticker. I've ran that motor for a month now, driving it the same as I did with the other motors. And actually the replacement motor for the Hitachi drill is only 2 dollars more from the Hitachi replacement parts website as Traxxas sells their motors for. GO HITACHI, except they're both still made in china, probably by the same exact manufacturer. I don't know what to say... There must be good and bad motors out of the batch, that's all I can figure.Get more detail about Motor, 550 Titan, 12-Turn.
