It's not completely destroyed, but it came close to irrecoverably melting the brush assembly.
Because of how hot it got I wouldn't try to use it for anything that doesn't include a current limiting circuit or temperature cut-off.

The tentative plan is to go with one or two of these. MY1020Z3

Which I should be able to add a freewheel adapter to without too much work. I've ordered one for testing, and depending on the results I may order a second one and wire them in parallel for speed or series for torque.
