gezz1098 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I need help I bought a FTX Carnage brushed 3 weeks ago and today the car was running fine and then a funny rattle noise started coming from the motor. I removed the motor from the mount and found that under slow acceleration the motor is making a vibrating sound but then on full acceleration the motor stops making the noise and works ok. I'm new to rc so not sure if this is a broken motor or if it is the gearing? The car has been used a lot over the last 3 weeks. Thanks a lot for your help.

Noj Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Cheap motors with short life expectancy. Replace like for like or consider something better. If the model was bought new, get a warranty replacement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gezz1098 Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 Thanks for your help any recommendations on a brushed motor 550 15T? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Not my area of expertise I'm afraid, only run 540 15t cans in vintage Tamiya kit, everything else is brushless. Perhaps read through the vantage/carnage owners thread for inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
