    I'm not sure where to look now. Have you checked the brushes? But you said that two motors have down the same thing, that's the confusing part. I don't even know a good brushed motor any longer, I quit running them almost ten years ago. How did it stop running, while you were driving it, or when you got it back out and then nothing? Certain your packs are charging? Just throwing stuff out there.

    Man, that's weird. I guess I'd carry it to the place I bought the last motor (assuming you didn't mail order) and ask them. I'm at a loss.

    Well I fixed my shock angle in the front and cut off the original shock mounts to use the aluminum ones. I also bought a whole bunch of TLR 22 springs so i can tune all my 2wd cars. So now I am running them on the slash. here are a few pictures of it.

    I used to have a Slash, Rustler, and Stampede. My cars kept breaking and I got sick of the things and buying new parts. I gave up on R/C cars but I still have a place for them inside me.
