    30" AeroMarine Fountain Rio Roses from G Doggett

    I finally have been able to test out my Fountain I got over the winter from G Doggett. It came half way around the world back to the US from New Zealand. Graham did an amazing job on this build. I changed a few decals around but kept the Fountain Rio look.
    This was the build thread:

    First time out last week the ESC got wet and stopped working. I swapped it out with a Turnigy 120 marine. I kept the Hobby King KD36-74-9XL with a 1900 KV in that it came with.
    Today GPS at 34mph with a X440.
    X442 got me 40.9.
    It ran great in the straights but not so good in the turns but that's what I expected.
    After each run the temps were 98 on the ESC and 104 on the ends of the motor.
    I then through on a x440/3 detongued. After a few passes the motor siezed up. I'm glad I didn't blow the ESC.
    I just pulled the motor and the bearings look fine but something locked up inside. Shaft seems to be slipping on the rotor.

    Rotor slipping ... you have delaminated mags from rotor.

      That's what I was thinking.
