My Literaly Smoking Xmod

Savior*insider · #1 10-22-2003, 07:28 PM

lol i was too lazy to put grease and metal bearings on my AWD+stage 2 motor blue gearing and i was runnin it around my driveway until eventually the batteries ran out. i went inside to get new ones and when i took the body off of the car the whole front end started smoking. i was a bit freaked out but i put the batteries in and tested it out to see if it was all working. havent had a single problem since then. i think that the plastic brushings plus no grease created too much friction and the plastic brushing started smoking.

if u have metal bearings in then u shouldn't have plastic bushings in there unless u forgot to change a couple hehe. or unless u meant teh plastic that holds the bearings got hot and started smoking. bleh, i'm hungry, need some food

there werent any metal bearings in at all. i still had the plastic ones in this particular car.

theres your problem you were melting the bushings, put the ball bearings all around.

... i have said that that was my problem the whole time. i knew what i did when i did it i just thot it would educate some newbs on why u should grease and why u should use metal bearings.

Savior*insider... i think people were confused by the way you phrased it, i was like ????? but you next post cleared it up. btw, i just reread your posts.... i just wanna make sure that there is no hard feelings here. hehe... if the bearings are so important you should tell you uncle/cousin/whatever to put them in stock

i think its better to put them in as an upgrade, leaves some more difficult mods to be done.

lol no hard feelings taken.
