RE: HPI 26 CC bearings
I have had this happen to me 3 times. Once in mt Rampage, and 2 in mt HPI's. Naty when they fail, I have never damaged a cylinder yet. Every one that failed for me - when I split the case the bearings are bone dry, and there is a LOT of black dust from the bearing canabalizing itself. Looks like alack of lubrication.the bearing on the fan side has never beena problem for me.
