If you remove and measure it you can order the mabuchi replacement. I think the size is about 25x35mm but I do not have one. Also I think it uses the 12 volt version of the motor. Hope that helps. All motors have standard sizes in mm so measure across the front face and across the side for measurement.

Yes he did mention that too. Might as well upgrade. Expect to spend close to 100$ if that is too much for some reason the mabuchi isn't more than 15$

just take the machine to a local hobby store, match out the motor as a temp fix until the new motor comes in.
