I had three main motors failed. They overheated and burned. I installed motor cooling aluminum on one motor, but that did not help. Any suggestion?

I would recommend a brushless motor kit. The have two kit one for the main motor and one for tail motor. I think that would be your best bet. The original motor are cheep and fail often. The brushless motors are a little bit more money but do not fail.

General rule of thumb is to fly for 7 or 8 minutes, then land & let the motor cool off. If you fly for the entire battery pack, the motors get too hot & burn up. Instead of replacing the motors with originals, you could convert to a brushless motor & get more power & flight time. MJX makes a plug & play version that will fly for almost 15 minutes on a larger battery with no components getting too hot or failing.

There are a number of things that pops into mind, but the first thing I would do is check the voltage of the battery

Yes mine also got really hot. The engine had a non-related issue and is not running now but I assume it will still get hot.

I had the same problem. The insulation on the wiring did not keep it cool causing it to melt then the wiring melted together. I cut out the connector and hard wired the positive to positive and negative to negative seperately and insulated them very heavily. I am now keeping "ALL" the wiring away from eachother to make sure that never happens again. I hand-made a bracket to keep the controler away from the battery to eliminate some of the heat problem and it seems to be working. Good luck.

I think its just a luck of the draw...I unfortunately got a lemon as the motor burned up after 35 min of walking. Weslo is sending a replacement for the motor so we will see how that goes.

I have not had that problem with mine, look around the metal plate under aluminum bowl and see if anything got in there that's melting or burning.Have you tried calling customer service about this?

My guess is that the motor will draw to much amperage and overheat the regulator. Electronics pull very little amperage compared to motors. Good Day to you.

The motor is burnt out I had the same problem .I contacted the company 2 times with no response My unit is only 45 days old. Good luck getting it repaired under warranty.

As someone mentioned, its electronic...so warranty might be out. That being said, make sure when you replace it again, replace the blower motor with it. Blower motor amperage causes the module to short. Usually after you hit a bump, temp change, or while starting up...just like your home ac unit. They don't just die

It might be. My motor still works. The orginal motor burnt out because the canister was full of leaves. You might want to check that everything is put back and working correctly. The motor might be working too hard.

I just had to replace the bottom plastic cover that warped from heat, the motor got so hot at some point the paint blistered but a replacement cover fixed it.

i have the same problem. bought 3 fans less than a year ago and 2 failed in the last week. i will try and change the fuses but have put Amazon on alert just in case.

Check the blades, you may have put them on the wrong motors. Try changing the blades and putting them on the opposite motor and see what happens

this may help. hoes maybe to short.just a guess. ck the volts to much power will make the motor run faster. if any of THESE will not work send it back. thanks

it should not get very hot or smell hot , make sure it matches old motors specs ie. amp draw ,horsepower, & correct voltage & rotation

I have the robocut and like one commented the motor overheats and stops after a few minutes of use. I also notice that the motor is slowing down even after replacing blades and oiling. I will be changing to flowbee soon to try it out.

We've had our white mountain for over ten years. We have replaced the motor a couple of times as the ice and salt to wear out the gears however the problem you're describing doesn't sound like a burned out motor more like the motor wasn't engaged properly with the interior shaft of the unit. I would contact the manufacturer.
