Raider Raider, Between a BLS and BLX

[Steve]

On ESC's, BLS = 35 amps, BLX = 80 amps, from specs I've read.
So, 60 amps is between 35 and 80.
My $21 ESC came in, Hobbypower 60 Amp, ($21 eBay ESC). It had 3.5mm bullets, soldered on 4mm bullets to match all the brushless motors in my toolbox. Plug was Tamiya, soldered on a Dean's plug.
Motor, 5200kv $18 eBay Motor
Below is a YT of it installed. I don't trust holding the ESC down with Velcro, use a tie strap, drilled a hole, to cinch it into place.
My running video was not too good. I determined the right-rear wheel bearing is shot, causing the wheel to wobble and make the car unstable at high speed.
In short, here's my $39 "bottom-feeder" brushless system.

My $39 ebay combo has about 15 hours of indoor track time on it now.

Just back from a run, couldn't get to top end.
I diagnosed, the right-rear wheel bearing is shot, the wobble sends the RC into a nasty fishtail, then spin out.
I've never changed a wheel bearing on an RC, so something new I guess.

It's super easy.

I have been ordering brand new take off parts on ebay. A few company's are dismantling new kits and parting them out. Much cheaper to get replacements and spares. I got all 4 corners, nuckles, axles, bearings,wheel nuts and pins,hexs, and ball studs for 18 shipped. Much cheaper than individual ordering from tower.

Do you have any links?
Thanks!

One of the sellers doesn't seem to have much arrma stuff currently. I have also ordered from this seller.
