e-Lite Machines Corona > Another Fusion bites the dust

I've now joined the long list of folks that have had their Electro Fusion 7 motors go bad. I cleaned mine last night and then just spooled it up to see if it spun ok. Wham, it threw a winding and locked up. I cleared the broken winding but it doesn't spin anymore - I hope my esc didn't get toasted.

I can't decide what I want next, maybe brushless but I have two six cell batteries ( 3800mah,4100mah) that were about $120 for both and I hate to not use them anymore.

Suggestions ?

Just out of curiosity, howlong did the motor last? :P

Around three months....I don't know how many flights....I probably took it out to fly around three times a week...

So approx. 25 to 30 runs? Lets say 3,5 workhours? Thats utterly pathetic, what is LMH thinking? Dont they have dieing coronas over at theire test range?

I noticed that their Corona kits no longer have Fusion motors in them....

Then cant you just ring up those LMH guys and claim a proper motor?

I'm running the "Atomic Force" Motor (17 Turn Motor for the Corona), seems to have lots of power, but I never ran the Fusion motor!?!?

Helihobby.com has them for $27.99Sonny

Beh, Id say ditch the brushes and score a juicy Mega 16/15/3.

They seem to run perty ok on 7 to 8 cells.

Any broken brushed setup is not worth replacing with another one, imho.
