Hub motor puncture

[TRACTOR DAN]

Hi this is my first post on here, im posting because im not sure what should i do next.
I built my e bike from scratch, when it come to the motor i got a 3000W suringmax mxus clone.
Today i went on a test ride to tune the controler and i went off road, not a minute after entering the forest i got a puncture on the sidewall.
Im not sure if its due to the weight of the motor or if its a defect in the tire.
I run tubless with maxxis dhr 2.

IMO, bad luck, I think, but if you had sealant it should have stopped the "leak" (unless larger than 1/4" or so) and if you had "Cush Core" (or equivalent) you could have limped back.

i had sealant , don't think there was enough. I might try to put some cush core.

Punctures happen. Too soon to call foul/fault without further evidence.
