HV-maxx problems, can anyone relate?

[RobK]

I recently upgraded the rotor (6.5) in my 8 week old HV-MAXX and the bearings were *very* dry(squeel like you wouldn't believe), and are still noisy after some bearing oil. I have only run it a dozen times or so since the original purchase. I'm replacing the bearings with the new endbell kit once it's available. I'm running 72/13 with my own electric Revo conversion & 2 8AH Maxamp lipos and 40 series Maxx Mashers tires (taller than stock). I think the original HV has some cheap bearings.

It may not be as powerful as many (most?) of the other systems here, but it's almost too powerful for the tight track I race it on--nitros are no problem so far, except for the Revos with the center diff (working on that!)

Fits the new 6.5 rotor in the old HV4400 armature without modifications??
