Hello everyone,
I got myself a new DBXL-E and took it out for it's first run.
First set of batteries and all is fine. Second set of batteries and i noticed some kind of drag. Back home put it on a stand to check drivetrain and left rear wheel was not turning.
Next took wheelhubs apart and allready 3 of 8 bearings were seized, even after soaking in degreaser they still are. On my Losi 5T i'm still using the original set of bearings and it has seen snow, beaches and numerous showers.
But on the 5T the bearings are rubber sealed, on the DBXL-E they are just plain closed metal bearings (6901Z). See image.
Did they run out of rubber sealed bearings at the factory? Or come all new DBXL's with these factory metal bearings?
