Im having an issue with my bearings in my scale hydro, on .078 wire. I was told the strut is new, my bearings are new (bought a set of 4, flanged and non.)
I managed to make it through a race day, but I damaged 4 bearings, 2 flanged and 2 non total, including 2 test sessions a week before. I was told that my prop was probably out of balance, but its a carbon prop that had been ran by one of our top racers. My robart balancer just wont do something so light..
My motor runs really warm, about 120-130 , (feels more like 140 )on temp gauge, more so than the first run i did over a week ago.
I did remove a washer the last test runs after the race, and it seemed to have gotten better. the bearings seemed fine. the washer wasnt perfect match, so could have cause a vibe?
What am i to look for in setting up the drive dog, bearings, grease etc? right now, it feels pretty smooth. I use just thin film of grease in case the wire rubs the sides of the stuffing tube? I realize its hard to analyze not seeing the setup.
What simple balancer (magnet?) could I buy to balance carbon and then metal props?
