Motor Question (Sound Clip)

That's great that it's not making that noise anymore! I wonder if it could just be an issue with the Quark and it detecting no load or something like that...

You said hybrid bulks and diff cups?? With the hybrids you need 1/8th scale gears.

[phidailo]

Don't they make hybrid bulks for both 1/8 and standard maxx gears?

[Sylvester]

Ya, the ones for the 1/8 are hybrid and the normal gears are combo bulks.

The sound i hear sounds like a vibration from a worn bearing. When i raced slotcars i heard it a few times when the bushings were about to wear out. It only happened when not on load like yours does. I would look at getting a pair of bearings, just in case. Not sure how long you have, but not tring to worry you, just my experience. Never heard that from a bearing though

Another possibility, I noticed that my Mamba Max motor made a similar, but quieter sound without a pinion gear and with 30% drag brake when pulling some throttle then releasing the trigger.

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

Souns like it would be cheaper to invest in driving lessons. lol
WOT into a light pole or a 6 in curb for arms, towers, shocks, and bulkheads. I've recked em all at least once
