How is TP on there warrenty

[MarkF]

By trying to many different props. Some of the props got the motor hot and some didn't But i think i got it hot one to many times. Will be sticking with the props I like now and no more experimenting.
My 5870 has been great and handles everything I throw at it.

I have a question...when does a person screwing around with different setups etc and pushing for things hard, cease to become a warranty issue and should just be sacked up as part of the chances you take when doing so?

When you do what I did to 4070. User error is not for warranty. I never bothered with warranty for anything unless it smokes on a test bench with no load. Some guys have had a Neu pop first try on bench and that's warranty.

When screwing around gets the motor very hot. Which I did. I don't know for sure it was my fault, but am waiting to hear from TP after they get the motor.

Ok so.... Received my other motor yesterday. Its the right size and kv but the wrong can. Im already uncomfortable with running two motors with different mfg dates (anal) and then I get a one piece can vs a multi piece can. The color is slightly different and looks, well you know. Waiting to hear back from them on a sollution to this.

So you would warranty your batteries if I did the same?

[MarkF]

No. Why would you say that?

I think what Jeff is getting at is if a motor Mfr is sent back a motor that has been abused by the owner and they are expected to cover it...why not cover abused Lipos as well?

[MarkF]

I never said I expect them to cover it. I have been getting my Neu 1527 1D hot for 10 years. I told them what I did and I'm waiting to hear back.

Thanks Doby, I know what Jeff was getting at.
Let me explain this a little better so some of you guys can learn. If you get your motor too hot, the first thing to go should be the rotor. It can throw the magnets or demagnetize them. A winding should not burn. But a winding can burn, if there is a nick in the wire from winding the motor at the factory or if they use cheap wire. So in a motor of this size, 5860, there is a lot of copper in the stator, and I would not expect the windings to ever burn, or in my case, a single winding got dark and the other 2 didn't. I have grenaded many Neu rotors running in saw events. But I never burnt a winding. I know some have and I will say that's probably because that motors winding had a nic in it from the factory. Sometimes these nics go unnoticed if your setup isn't running too hot. I was trying different props for an oval boat and kept my runs short. In saw racing that is different story and there I do push motors way past what they were meant to do and would never suggest the factory is at fault. I have been doing this for over 25 years. Believe me when I say, I know how to abuse a motor. And how not.:)

After allll this fun with TP I have two matching motors. But. One of the jackets does not fit.IMG_0511.jpg every time I try to fit it it just cuts the rings IMG_0513.jpg I tried heating the jacket and using liquid dish soap. The other works perfectly.
