Qtec electric cut outs I was just curious how many have had problems with these?
I've had mine on for about 3 months and have torn it apart 3 times.
The 1st time was the little screws holding the motor backed out or something,so i tore it apart and retightened/locktighted them.
The 2nd time one of the set screws backed out of the rod connecting the gear shaft to the cutout plate.After going to hobby shops and Home Depot i finally found a set screw.
The 3rd time which was today the e-motor went out.I tore it apart to see what was going on thinking i didnt have the mesh set right or something and maybe it binded up.Just a note i mess with r/c's alot so i know about mesh.Anyone that messes with nitro motors knows what i mean.Well it wasnt the mesh.
The motor spins fine by hand.I took the cover off where the wires go and jumped the +/-,the motor wouldnt turn at all.
Anyway i already ordered another one.I figured i should of sent it back the 1st time,but since i tore it apart already i'll take the hit.If this 1 doesnt work right or i have problems i'll be sure to not go this route again.

If i never would of tore it apart i would've called.There's not much to the e-cutout.I probably could've even just got another motor from them.
But,live and learn.I'm diffently not touching the new one if there's problems.
I just like to tinker.Most things can be fixed pretty easy and you dont have to go through the wait of someone to replace/fix something.
I just believe that once you touch something or tear apart something there's always someone to say its your fault.Not always,but its a rare case when it goes your way.
