need a light tap on the shaft with a hammer and it came off and vice versa with putting it back on

The bearings are a rather uncommon 5x11x5mm size. The standard 5x11 bearings you might buy are only 4mm thick, instead of 5. In my motor I put in a 5x11x4, and some shims to take up the play, and it works somewhat decently.

I would run it cause if it works right and only makes noise. How can you fix it cause it is not broke?

Leroy, maybe thats why you have 5 controllers in the shop :p.

If its makin that noise... Somethins broke.....

Do you have another motor to try? Just to try and positively isolate that its the motor and not the controller causing the motor to make noise.

:005: :005:

I only have 3.:013:
It is making a noise yes.
The question is
Is the motor making the noise or the esc the cause? :032: If it is working right how can you fix it.

If every time you took your foot off of the gas in your new 1:1 car the horn honked. Would you consider it working right?

I wouldn't.... And I would expect the car dealer to fix it.

Well if every time you lifted off the gas it applied the brake I would expect the brakes like to come on. I am curious if it does it with the gears on the motor or just free winding?

I agree. I think some investigation needs to be done to isolate the cause. If he has a diferent motor, I'd be interested to know what happens with that. Also, that motor on a diferent controller.

CHC is right, can you take the motor out of the truck and just run it on the bench and see if it still does it?

My spur gear came in early so I took it out for a run. And you know what? No sound from motor with the gears on! For the bearing cap I just placed electric tape over the end bell to prevent dirt from entering. (is that ok?) I was really happy with the run today with temps at 150 motor and 115 esc.

Second run lasted only 5 minutes because I ran it into a cinder block around 10 mph and snapped the front skid plate and bulkhead.

Good excuse to get the flm hybrid bulks and diff cups :)

Good to hear its working!

First guy Ive met thats HAPPY when he crashes and breaks something...:eek: :dft012: :) :005:

LOL ! But he gets to upgrade! I dont think hes happy about breaking somthing:005:

I am happy to finally upgrade because I've been pondering over it for the last few weeks. The only thing I hate is that I can only get a few runs in before breaking something. This is my first BL setup and I'm not a good driver :(

Guess the only thing I really NEED now are arms & shock towers. What can I do to damage those parts?

Everyone on this forum has nice setups and I'm anxious to soon have one of them
