This happened to me on my basic 5300's armature.

The fix is simple...

Pull the magnet off the shaft.

Next, coat the inside of the magnet where it slides on the shaft with a two part epoxy, such as jb weld. Slide the magnet back onto the shaft, at approximatly the same place. Let it sit for 24 hours and you should be good! Make sure to wipe away all the excess epoxy.

Tip: The magnet is neodynium, a super strong magnet. Be sure not to get it near any metal shavings. Also, do not drop it, if you were to fracture the magnet you'd need a new rotor. (I beleive they are fairly fragile.)

My rotor came loose and melted a hole in the end bell !!
I sent it in and they sent me a brand spankin` new system !!
Plus it only took them about 5 working days and I had my new

that happened to me too, in my emaxx, the shaft would pop out and i would have to "snap" it back in. ill try the jb weld thing and see if that works. thanks for the tip k_sw31
