I hope the UBEC isn't the cause (seems to be common on both of these trucks).

Actually I don't. I already took it apart in preperation for a new controller / motor that I just ordered from you today.
I've been all up and down the binding sea-saw and can't find anything. With the motor pinion disengaged, I can actually blow hard enough against the tire chevrons and cause the wheels to spin at any suspension angle. Yes, I'm a blow-hard j/k... :) get it out of your system now...
I purchased an aluminum esc mount that bolts up to the empty motor plate area next to the 9L. I'm hoping that heat transfer from the 9L through the motor plate, through the esc mount caused the problem.
both motor / esc are only a few days old...
