Hi

I have an amp ecx - i took it out and within a few seconds smoke starting coming out the back and the wires burnt out going to the motor. About a year ago I upgraded the motor to a new one.

Is the only option to buy and replace the motor? Im worried if its going to do it again.

Any help would be very much appreciated - thanks SO much.

That looks like one of those motor/esc combos right? You can try to repair the wiring, but something inside could have fried. I never owned one like that, so dont know what it looks like inside. I don't think those are made anymore, except ones for crawlers with low kv options. So you'll probably have to end up getting a new motor and esc.
 
hmmm... could be that you took the motor out and something fried most likely the ESC burned up not the motor.
take everything I say with a grain of salt I've only gotten into the ground hobby very recently
