I recently finished a tinkering project where I placed hobby grade electronics and servo into a toy-grade Maisto rock crawler (as many people have done before on YouTube). I did not upgrade the stock (poor quality) 130 motors. After a few hours of use the front axle motor went up in smoke and the rear motor is close to sharing the same fate (given the smell coming from the motor housing).
I'd like to know if there are any hobby-grade motors available that have the exact same form factor as these toy-grade 130 motors that I could use as permanent replacements which won't burn out after a few hours of use. The form factor needs to be the same since the motor is completely encapsulated in a plastic housing specifically molded for this size motor. Altering this to fit a motor with a different shape would be incredibly difficult and not worth the time.
Forgive me but my knowledge of electric brushed motors is somewhat limited. I am not concerned about giving the crawler more torque or speed, I simply want to keep it as-is but without having to disassemble the entire truck every time one of these crappy stock motors burns out.
Any explanations, brands, part numbers, links, etc. would be appreciated. Thanks!
