Stock 370 motor problems

Hi. I was using my RC18B, and all of a sudden, it would make grinding/beeping noises. I took it apart to find that the motor made those noises. I tried WD-40, but that didn't get rid of the problem. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with the motor? It also seems to be binding inside, and there isn't anything in it.

Sounds to me that the motor burned up......get yourself a new motor. And dont forget to lube the front and the endbell of the motor....if it has bearings you want to use something thin, if it uses bushings then you want to use something thick.

You may have simply gotten something stuck inside of your motor. If the "funny noises" persisted, a magnet may have worked itself loose. Rare, but it is a low dollar throw away motor right .

Did your motor really go beep beep beep?

Yuppers. If that went one any longer, I would have just painted it white with the R2D2 motif and made up a funny story about it. *MOTOR WARS*
