I'm thinking bad bearings. I just smoked a bearing in MT8E recently in the transmission and it caused enough friction to melt the composite transmission housing. Just a thought.Hey All,
I did post this on my build adventure thread , but thought I'd post this up seperately.
I have recently replaced a Spur Gear and I used the new spare nut supplied with the truck on the rebuild. This is what has eventuated after less than a battery pack over 2 runs ( both times truck broke , first time axle after 5 minutes, 2nd run chewed another servo. I have obviously screwed the reassembly somewhere, but I am at a loss at what point or what could possibly cause the spring to get that heated ?
Any and all ideas and suggestions will be appreciated.
