XB-E motor problems

[jl59]

I bought an xbe about six weeks ago. I have now been through three motors, each one has had bearing problems, the motor shaft will have a lot of play in it and the motor will be in a bind. Redcat has replaced the motor each time but I have less than 4hrs run time on the car. Has anyone else had these kind of problems with the xbe?

No, I haven't had any issues with my stock motor. Have ya tried taking a new motor apart and putting in some high quality bearings? Its easier and cheaper than getting a replacement motor.

No I have not considered that so far redcat has replaced the motors at no cost.

Thats good!


I will see if I can get the bearing size and find the right bearings for the stock motor.
