How much is an FI Q motor worth? I was looking into buying some that were involved in a car fire, will fire have hurt them in any way?

As long as no debris got in the gap they should be fine.

No idea how much they're worth though.

lol where do u find something like that

I found them on another car audio forum. As far as debris in the gap I'm sure there is some, but will it be that hard to get rid of? He told me $150 shipped for 2 motors+baskets, they would arrive to me in need of a imense cleaning, as they are still chared.

Doubt i'd buy them, that glue that holds the motors together isn't exactly designed to hold up in a fire lol.

Ya I feel sorry for him, didn't even have it all 24hrs.

I think I'm gonna pass on these motors then, since $150 is kinda allot of money (to me at least) to take a risk with.

you would have to get the charged. The heat froma fire (especially a car fire) causes the magnets to lose there magnetic field strength. Also, the glue used to hold the parts of the motor together will also fail. They might be stuck together still, but wait until you try to push on them, i have seen motors literally fall apart.

you would spend too much to make them work again(properly anyways)
