burned out motor

I burned out my motor this weekend and I was wondering if there might be anything salvagable? I'm hoping the armature is salvagable since it's my only 4wd motor. I have a 2WD that I can use in the meantime, but I'd obviously much prefer to keep 4WD.

I'm guessing that the damage done when it burned out (some grit got into a gear and bound it up) was excessive arcing on the com burning it up. Can this kind of damage be cleaned off? Someone told me you clean comms with an eraser, but I dunno if that would be enough.

Just to let you know, I haven't opened the can yet, so I haven't surveyed the actual damage.
