can I just remove 1 of 4 motors and still ride without adjustments?

hi there, as some know, one of my motors in the plutonium has a locked up bearing, and I was able to get home when it happened by removing the screws that fix the geardrive to the wheel, now I can’t fix the bearing right now as I can’t get the motor open (lack of tools) and wondered if it’s ok to just disconnect the motor and only use the remaining 3, or will this be dangerous or damage the esc?

I’ve done it before with dual unities and it did some really weird shit.

Didnt damage anything tho. I’d say go for it, at your own risk

looks like mine is going to work again:

help! broken motor on my plutonium

:::update::: guess what, finally managed to get this thing opened with tons of heat and flat screwdrivers, turns out a piece of the magnet got shattered, and seemed to have locked up in between the magnets which then blocket rotation, the big ball bearing is actually fine, except it’s rather loud - will try some wd40 on the bearing to tone it down, and about the shattered magnets, well, would you still use this? no more debris is coming off and I removed the blocking piece.
