motor is "stiff"

I am running an orion baja motor on my mini-T and I landed a jump pretty hard on the rear end of the car, and the motor is now very stiff. It still works but it doesnt get to full speed and the truck decellerates quickly. The motor and esc also get hotter than normal.
I was wondering if it could be in the bearings or something, and if it is fixable.

I know its the motor because it is still stiff even out of the car.

please help!

O, and by stiff I mean it is hard to turn, too much friction or something.

Ok the problem is a cracked magnet, it is rubbing on the inside of the motor.

Is there any way to replace the magnets?
