I did search this thread a little but maybe didn't hit the right terms.

Anyway, anyone ever seen the stock silvercan motor melt part of the front steering knuckle? Something is definitely wearing the plastic off the knuckle but there's nothing even remotely close that could be rubbing so the only theory we have (two different completely stock M05's) is that the motor is getting that hot. They aren't touching, and there's no black plastic on the motor. I can post pics tonight if I can get a clear enough shot. Just wondering if this is a known design flaw.

Stock M05, running on indoor carpet, ambient temp around 77F.
