Cool. You might still contact Steve and see what he would trade you for
the broken motor. I wouldn't stop playing with the set, after all that's
what LEGO is for. I would just set about securing another spare or two
or three.
If you feel mechanically confident, go ahead and open up the motor. You
might find a gear which is binding and be able to fix it. If it's the
actual motor which is burned out, you might find it is a replaceable
motor.
