I thought that initially but the grinding has become almost too loud to be a bearing. It sounds almost like a stripped gear but it definately is not one.

I have no idea why the car is making such a noise! (I'll even be replacing the SliGhTLy damaged spur to try rectify the issue tomorrow but I can almost guarantee this will not help!)
Please tell me someone in this forum has had a similar issue and is able to help!

Thanks, Jeffreylin I'll check the bearings. No, I'm not running dogbones on the axels. I just checked and it does seem to only make the noise with the motor in. what do you suspect the problem may be cookie_monst?

Anyone else with any Carpet Ozite setups w/ rubber or foam tires and monster stock motors?
Most of us are heading indoors for the Season, either at Hobby World(Gilroy, CA) or to Stockton RC Raceway.

Thats kinda a long winded way of say you have nothing to worry about!

.....5 packs later, sound reappeared, close inspection revealed a tiny grain of sand had lodged in the valley of the spur (almost need a microscope to see it)
dug it out, ......some how, it seems the motor mount / chassis will amplify the sound of a less then perfect gear mesh.

Someone asked for a foam tire carpet setup for Monster Stocks. I posted mine a few pages back.
