Fuze 17.5 brushless squeel?

[Bogncrawl]

I have a fuze 17.5 brushless motor and it start to make a squeel noise, so I'm guessing its the berrings so I go to look and I don't really know what size they are and so I figured I'd contact dynamite and ask them (cuz that's who makes them) and they said they can not determine what's wrong with it unless I send it in,and charge $30 an hour! Um I just needed to know which berrings to get, so with that said does anyone know what berrings size I'd need, and I don't have a micro gauge to get size so I'm kinda clueless.

You should first try to lube the bearings. Grab some bearing oil from a local hobby shop or order some. Several companies make it. I use Sin bearing lube.

If that doesn't work, it's a tough task to remove the bearings. Also, I'm not sure how you'd go about finding out a size. You'd need a set of dial calipers and or a mic. Neither of those are cheap. It is possible if you could pull the bearings, that you could take them to a LHS and have someone figure the size for you.

Just keep this in mind the next time you go to purchase a motor. Not all companies are unwilling to help people. I'd bet Tekin, Castle or Traxxas would've been very helpful.
