Cltmte,
Your welcome, it only takes one thing out of tolerance to give you ANY problem. Somethings binding or at worst, your motor could be going down hill. I did have one brushless go bad. But it took alot of hours and months to get there. Never had a problem since, the 3800kv I have on the HBK2 now, hardly gets warm. I can run battery pack after battery pack and it's not a problem.
Best of luck and let us know what ya find,
Dave / Choppersrule

hey, thanks choppers. It really does run hot and I have lubed and checked it all out. I need to go through it again and will do so over the holidays. I have always felt it should run cooler and I figured I would smoke the motor soon. Need to just get it done. It has never rotated as smoothly as the cp pro or the T-Rex but I assumed that was due to the belt drive as compared to the CP Pro and quality of parts compared to the T-Rex. Guess I need to taker her down and rebuild.
