Does anyone know if the issue with premature motor burn out is still on going?

It all depends on the duration and how many times the Alias is flown. The motors are powerfull but small and light weight so the shelf life is not long. Although, buying the replacment motor is easy, at a fare price and easy to switch out). (It is suggested that if you switch one you should switch them all) (Comes in a four pack). Best of luck

I just got one & needed to replace the motors after one day, I order motors from Micro Motors the same time I ordered my Alais. These motors for only $29 make the Alais a dream to fly. http://micro-motor-warehouse.com/collections/parts-for-rtf-models/products/cl-0820-15-11t

I purchased mine about two months ago and I have about 8 a 10 hours on it with no motor problems. I did need to replace a prop bearing but I'd say that was very minor given the abuse I have put it through. I can't fly helis worth a damn but the Alias is a pleasure to fly, especially after I tuned it way down to my skill level. Hope this helps.

Yes it is. I experienced this problem with two different models and each time the motor did burn out. Brand new this quad-copter is great fun and easy to learn to fly. I can not believe how high I was able to get it to go and still maintain control of it. If they could work out the motor problem, it would be a great toy for anyone.

I have used mine for quite a long time. Is the motor working - have you charged it? If the motor is working, do you have the brush firmly connected to the motorized unit - if it's not clicked in firmly, it won't work.

Picked up one of these a few weeks ago. After just four flight, I'm having this exact same problem. One motor is always on full blast, rendering it unflyable.

Motor Bad.... I have had to replace many, Motors don't last long I keep spare motors in stock.. Sounds like New Bad Motor..

LOL... in all seriousness, it won't matter. The motor/battery will go out LONG before you'll need a replacement head. Have owned three of these. They all failed in under 6 months. Just read all the reviews.

You could try googling the limitations, and if it's indeed burnt out, maybe try your warranty. I'm sorry I'm not much help, but if it's new, you may be able to replace the machine thru the seller/manufacturer - best of luck, they're awesome machines I hope it works out

There is two motors that keep them in rotation... Seems like one of your motors burnt out

Am not sure what motor your referring to but if it's a relay issue then more than likely.

So far Schwinn has been very good about getting back to me, but not so good in fixing the problem. I have replaced the control panel, nearly all the wires and the dc motor. It still doesn't work, but they are still working with me. If either of you have any luck, please let me know via this post.Thanks

I have no idea what the temperature is. It gets pretty hot and I think that's what happened to mine. I am guessing that it overheated and the motor burnt out??? No other reason for it to have stopped working after a few months and under 10 usages. Maybe someone else actually clocked the temp.

I have not had any issues with the motor or the heater. Was installed in December 2012. LOVE my ipool!

Mine lasted one week. I suspect the motor is too small for the task. Nancy Dancu

Authorized bissell repair center says that they have a lot of these little things in their shop, all under warranty, all with the motor having burnt in the first year... they are waiting on Bissell to send them a replacement...so I would say, no, if it's not under warranty it's not going to be worth servicing. If I had to do it over again, I would not have gotten this piece of crap.

My motor is fine and I too need the drill attachment piece. I am having trouble finding a replacement online and the more I search the more people I come across with this problem. It seems to me that this drill is inferior...

I am sorry that I cannot help you on this one. We have used ours about every day for 9 months without a hitch. It sounds like the drive gear has come unhitched from the motor. Did you ever try to run it while something was jamming the cutter/blender? Sorry I cannot help more.

Same issue with mine. Perhaps just the normal byproduct of the motor's internal moving/grinding parts. Honestly, thisnis my 2nd Blendtec. 1st one burned out after ~650 cycles. I'm no longer enthralled with this product. should have just saved $$ and went with a Ninja.

The motor burned out on mine after a year. There is often a few second delay when pulling the trigger.
