Noise
 

So, I have seen plenty of posts about how loud the XMods are (can be), but I haven't seen any feedback on sugestions to try and quite the drivetrain. Some one mentioned graphite and powder teflon. Has anyone tried it yet? How were the results? Any other suggestions?http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/rkk...iew=t&.hires=t

after lubing my bearings with some oil from the bearings i bought for my hockey skates it seems to have quieted down

put ball bearings in it and lube the drive train with something. the ball bearings will stop most of the vibrations in the drivetrain and should give you a little mor power because the vibrations are gone.

Alot of the noise is due to excessive friction between the motor pinion and idler gear. I shimmed my motor up slightly, and it had the benefit of both reducing the noise, and reducing drivetrain friction (making my car faster). I just used a couple of small washers that I had laying around.
