I just got in from a run then, and something a little puzzling happened. It was WAY quicker this time, i think the batteries were performing better, and it handled better with the thicker diff oil. It would easily pop wheelies on the tarmac. the temps were:

Batts: 80-90F
Motor: 100-130F
ESC: 100-130F

The fan came on a couple of times, but after a minute or so it would go off.

Heres the weird thing, the front cover on the motor came off. It must have been rattled loose or something. I think the internals are ok because i stopped running straight away when it slowed down and made a crunching sound. Im just going to loctite it back and keep running it. It must not have been properly secured at the factory or something. My motor mount is real solid, the fron part was still really tight. Should i keep running it, or contact Neu and see what they say?





cheers
