Title: Motor getting hot!
Post by: benihanna80 on June 14, 2012, 10:44:52 PM
Hey guys I'm running a fireball motor and I put an old 11t 18r pinion gear I think the gear mesh is good.  My problem is that it gets hot. In fact I burned up a fireball already. I put in the bearing set thinking that would help with friction, the drivetrain doesn't have much if any grease would that make a big enough difference. Or could there bupe something else?

Thanks!

Ben Rich

I haven't had any luck with the fireball motor either. I've burned up a few of them.  I'm currently running a stock 18R motor in mine.  Thee fireball always got really really hot in mine as well.

Thanks Brian. That's good to know. 

P.s. what do I owe you for the diff bearing?
