Did you clean your ears out recently? I couldn't pass it up!

That is weird...anything else different or changed? ESC, battery..etc?

I doubt it's your motor making the noise. I would guess it's either your gear mesh or an issue with the gears in your transmission.

Check your gear mesh. If that's not the issue, you might want to tear down your transmission for a good cleaning and inspection.

Lol well that mesh was messed with and still sounded the same so will have to start ripping gears apart.

Run all motors alone, outside of your truck. This will eliminate the unknowns (tranny, axles, driveshafts, etc)


If your motor is loud while bench resting then it's the motor. If the motor is quiet while bench testing then the noise comes from your drivetrain somewhere.

Yep, easiest way to do it is just take the pinion off the motor. My motors were loud at the start, but as the brushes broke in it quieted down a lot.

I have an uncle that gets loud when he drinks... it's very annoying but doesn't affect his overall performance that much.
