The armatures made by Autoworld and Dash have a tendencey to throw the windings. Well you may ask what is a thrown winding.

I would like to thank everyone that responded but in particular Ralph Rosson, Jeff Hartman, and Dan Cronin. This can be repaired and better yet it can be prevented. If you're interested then continue to read on.

So I started going through my T-Dash 2.0 chassis looking for the best armatures and will hopefully prep two cars for the  race. In the rules it allows for balancing the arm either by adding epoxy or by removing material from the heavier armature stack. I will do the latter. If your interested in how I balance an armature then please read on...
