Bearings are all 1150 (axles), 1510 (bulkhead diffs) and 840 (layshaft) I think. Flanged 830s and 850s at the steering?

except with gearing it too high and stuff.

they just returned it back to novak and they gave them a new one
yeah, it'll have to go back to factory for checking/repair soon.

Unit is reaching its 1st birthday and I've trashed it mercilessly. Its been geared to the moon before (for speedway velodrome runs) and on the track... when overgeared it just runs slower & sucks more battery than 'normal', ESC gets very hot. But have never managed to activate the temperature protection....

I emailed Novak yesterday & got reply saying sometimes the ESC can get damaged by big power spike if car hits something hard at full power. That's probably it as I have thoroughly inspected every part & cannot find any physical damage.

Very happy with the unit, no complaints. Have gotten another 2 to play with while I send this one for repair.
