I've been laying low RCing in the sense that...too humid/hot or thunderstorms come into play when I want to go to the track.
The Evader ST ended the life of another rear wheel. All stadium trucks waiting for new rubber, and/or wheels to be dug out of storage.
Torched up the HobbyFans motor today in the mucky weather. First run with SC10 and proper wheels/tires glued up. Either the Badland tires, bearings giving out, the outside temp; throttle EPA set at 100%, or all the above had a hand in raising my motor temps to 183°~185°F, and that was after a 60 second walk back to the garage to grab my temp gun


. Ouch! Battery was 127°F; slipper plates 150°F, and motor mounting plate had a reading of 149°F. I never measured the temps of the slipper plate before but thought I would today seeing how high the temps were on everything else. The motor was taken off as I had felt more resistance than normal turning the tires by hand. Motor sure feels tough to turn. Will have to open it up as well as the gearbox...top shaft has way too much play in it. Bearing(s) busted up inside tranny?
Probably one more 2S run for the day; when sun starts to go down. Yeti, or B4? B4.I don't feel like adjusting the Yeti to fit battery. I feel real lazy today, and don't want to deal with four screws
