why does this brushless only go in one direction

Jules is having issues with one of the drive brushless motors on Bam Bam....it was working perfect...but now one of her brushless turns perfect in reverse but cant speed up and stutters in forwards...we checked the esc with a different brushless ...and it worked fine...so the problem is defiantly the motor...could one of the 3 wires be cut?

Thanks
M&J

Most likely if it wouldn't turn at all, but going in one direction is a bit wierd..

Measure the resistance between each lead. Should be the same between all 3 combinations Smile

Not hot all all it just doesn't spin in one direction properly....the other brushless is fine.

Hmmm its structurally sound? Like bearings still good, no magnets loose?
