I've had some success repairing the rotor windings by removing and wrapping the rotor with Kevlar string with a fine coat if epoxy on string. Then replace those sloppy bearings. Its not 100% perfect, but if you can use a balancer of somekind might be pretty damn close . Trial and error!

Same here. XRT and X-Maxx motors are so fragile, that you can't even make this bearings replacement on time. Now I have 3rd motor (since January 2024) and yesterday hybrid ceramic bearings arrived - will replace stock ones and see if it helps this ridiculously short motor life.

I had a steering issue. I had a a-arm break. So I took it to the hobby shop. They recommend replacing both. I had them do the work because I had not had the time and it was my son car. When they replaced them the bolts that hold the steering knuckle if I'm calling it the right part. The bolts was loose on the steering knuckle so they took them out and put loctite on them so they wouldn't loosen again. They fixed the a-arm I left with it. We didn't use it for about a month. Well the steering didn't work no more. I tested the cervo it still work. What I believe happened there's a shank on the bolt for the steering knuckle and I think the loctite locked the shank of the bolt to the knuckle on all 4 bolts. I got 3 of them free and the steering now works. When I got the 3 free I got the loctite out of the hole for the bolt and used anti-seize tighten them back up and they moved with the knuckle with it tight. Just a little info I learned hopefully it helps someone.

The bearings went in our Traxxas motor at the bottom the can leaving the outer bearing casing stuck in there, we could not get it out. Eventually we drilled through the bottom end of the can and pushed out the bearing case, my plan now is to use two sets of bearings to hold in the other. I’ll have to do a video of it, it might be interesting to see what happens. It will be over on our rc channel called RC Havoc UK.
