Tires Wallowed out

[Cajun]

Since my XT is down waiting on new Controller i have been taking it apart and cleaning, noticed rear tires the plastic has wallowed out some do they make metal parts for those tire inserts, will attach a picture when I get home.

No such product. Keep an eye on those wheel bearings. A bad bearing can get the axel hot enough to melt the inside of the wheel.

 

[Cajun]

I read a post on that, they do get pretty hot even when the bearings are good right?

 

[Guest]

Maybe a little warm but not hot. If a bearing has no lubricant it will get hot and eventually fail. If it gets hot it is dry or already failing.

Might be time to visit 7075 RC

Roger that I will look at it when I get home tonight and see if I can do a visual inspection of it what should I look for ?

If there is any play in the bearings, or they're locked up, it's time to replace them.

Yes 7075 rc makes good stuff.

About my fourth tank of gas,my tires are starting to go flat,Did redcat improve theyre foams? And i'd like to know where i can buy new foams that will fit in the tires of the xt?

 

[cordy]

don't think they improved thier foams.You may want to try pool noodles sold at walmart. thier a cheap alturnative.Make shure you duct tape them when you put them inside your tire not tight just to hold them together.

 

[MyNewXT]

Thanks,But what are pool noodles?

 

[Deluge1]
