It the acctual motor that's broken, or the black plastick gearbox arround it? If it's both, and you don't want ot order from hobbyzone you might want to check out a hobbyshop near you. if it's just the motor, I beleve that this will work, though i'm not 100% sure. www.xenonproject.com/rc-airplanes/parts/electric-brushed-motors/480-motor-with-19t-05-module-pinion-p-8393.html

I'd say your best (and cheapest) bet is to got to a local hobby store.

Hope this helps,

All SC electronics (and most parts) are HZ proprietary and have to be bought at a shop or from HZ. You will NOT find it on a 'cheap site'.

Re-trimming. You are going to have to learn to trim yourself.
Center the trims on the TX, adjust the control surfaces using the adjusters until everything is FLAT while POWERED UP.

Get it WAY WAY up high. Throttle down to cruise speed, ~ 1/2 throttle.
Release the stick and watch it carefully. It should fly STRAIGHT AND LEVEL.
If not, adjust the trims EXACTLY the same direction you would move the sticks and check again.
Keep doing that until it flies right.

When trimmed right at about 1/2 throttle you should be able to lay your TX on the ground and watch the Cub fly away without doing anything but go straight. If not, it's trimmed poorly.

If it's had the $sh!t bashed out of it it may need a bit of over compensation to make fly straight.
Every time you crash it the trimming becomes a bit harder.
