I think my st 2 blue motor is worn out...
I've been running it a lot with 6 cells.
Has anyone else had their motor slow down after a couple runs?

most likely its your magnets. if you are running your xmod alot and the motor gets hot, it will slowly wreck your magnets in tha motor causing them to lose there strength. change those magnets and you will be running fine.

Hot motors over a period of time also melt brushes.

do you literally mean drive the car when it's hot? yes
I do not know how to take the motor apart...so I guess I need a new blue motor. Anyone have one for sale?

yeah thats what i meant. i run my car hot too. with no heatsink. drifting also makes this problem worse since you spin ur wheels alot so ur motor runs at higher rpm. ive noticed loss of low end punch in my s2 hybrid (9 tooth) out of couriosity i wanted to see how easily my car got hot. i popped in batts in my car. stuck my hybrid in it. locked my diff and started doing donuts. after one minute it was pretty warm. after 5 mins i touched it and it was HOT. moral here: use that heatsick or something better. good motor set up against heat? more turns? better brushes?

I don't have a motor for you, but I sure would take your Blue Stage 2 off of your hands, if you're willing.
Email me at gjones72@earthlink.net or post here as to your interest.
