Hello Steve,
Yes Traxxas is aware of reported motor failures. After testing your
quad to make sure it is working within normal parameters then
replacing the circuit board and testing it again, as well as
replacing five motors for you, we are forced to conclude that your Alias is working correctly. Judging from what
you have said and reported you are having a far higher motor
failure rate with far fewer flights than pretty much anybody else.
It is extremely unlikely that you have somehow tapped into
some kind of mother load of defective motors so the issue must lie
elsewhere. Without seeing how you are flying your Alias I cannot tell
you what is causing your failures but, with the evidence presented,
I cannot agree with your conclusion that it is entirely a motor issue.
Best regards Steve Lindholm
