So in the first 5 minutes of me flying my quad outside I landed it in a bush and one of my props only spins 359 degrees before it stops. Boo. I guess I am getting a boat load of new motors from China.

Welcome to the electronics hobby realm.  All of us here spend too much money keeping lots of spare parts around.

There is always RC helicopters...

 

 

But breaking things is what we do.. failure of things because they are not made well - well that sucks.. just like in real life...

Have you tried blowing the motor out with compressed air. It could simply be something lodged between the magnets/outer can and the armature. Also, the magnets can suck up small set screws and other metallic objects. I would check for debris.

Brent Burzycki what was powering that? Nitro? Impressive tricks.

Jason Perry nothing like gas RC vehicles.... to be able to kill a person.. every time I think about RC I want to fly a helo with that skill set.. 

 

Saldy that was not me.. but that was highly impressive..

 

The other part is helo RC first flights are usually very very painful.. it is usually a horrible arch of pain where the help goes over tip to tail and explodes into a million pieces...
