    Next time you take the heatsink off, put some thermal paste (same you use on a PC processor) between the motor and the block. Helps get more heat off the motor.

    I'm pretty sure brushless DC motors are in a star configuration. If you test the resistance between each winding to see if there is continuity between each other to see if it ok e.g. A-B, B-C, C-A. It looks to me like one of them failed. They should all read similar resistance's I believe. Worth a try.

    I fixed a couple Velineon rotors by using JB Weld on the shaft.. Just put it on there move it around to make sure you get it in there evenly.. Wipe it off and let it harden for a day or so.. It may work on a bigger motor.. Won't cost much to try.
