It's not the motors fault. I snapped the shaft on a castle creations on my granite grom for the same reason. Getting a gear mesh on these cars is not easy. I ended up using a 17t robinson racing pinion on the stock motor mount. Even though the mount is made for a 16t, it didn't mesh well with another 16t once I swapped to a motor with a 2mm shaft.

@@bigbristv right 😂You won't regret it. It handles, drives better & is easier to work on / upgrade. ✔️

The problem you had with the motor is that the shaft on the motor that comes stock is 2.3mm and the shaft on the brushless motor you purchased is only 2mm, so the pinion would be unbalanced which will brake the shaft, the losi mini b pinions are 2mm so will prevent the shaft breaking again👍

Got the 2mm bore pinion and everything was fine. Until it wasn't 😅

You could tell the mesh was too tight when you first started it. When I did mine on the mini B I had the same issue so I pushed on the motor to move it slightly while tightening onto the mount and the mesh felt and sounded good.

Yeah, the brushless models. I think this was supposed to replace the Dynamite setup of years ago. Don't give up yet bro. I installed the stock pinion which was a no-no.

I know when I contacted Horizon they do not have a brushless system they recommend for the Grom. We live and learn as someone else said. At least you can get your money back. I thought it was neat when you first tested it after the install and you said "oh my goodness." I want to replace mine with a brushless system, but the diameter of the motor shaft seems to be an issue.

@@bigbristv Just in case you interested, about 7 months ago on the channel called "Do RC" converted his Granite Grom to brushless and he used an inexpensive brushless motor and inexpensive Hobbywing esc. The motor was the correct size and had the correct motor shaft size. It was much faster on 2S, not insane, and it ran well. You may want to take a look at it. I just watched it today.

Did you reuse the stock pinion? I think that pinion has a 2.3mm bore and the brushless motor you got has a 2mm shaft. That might be why things went wrong, if the centers of the shaft and pinion weren't aligned. Just something to look into maybe. Anyways, thanks for the video!
