I am thinking exactly that, I just need to get some quotes. EV America quoted me $615 + shipping for a whole new armature which didn't seen too bad. I am now waiting a a shipping quote and time estimate cause I can't afford me EV off the road for more than 3 weeks.

I am hoping to do a full breakdown of my FB1-4001a and check all the windings, brushes and holders before investing in a full repair.

I am not the original owner of this motor and after we took apart my coupling last night and found extremely little damage I am starting to expect some issues were created with the owner by the original owner.
