    Hey everyone,

    Noticed i had a bit of a knocking noise coming from one motor, I've stripped it down to the bare motor and done a little vid. any of you had a similar issue?

    it has full power and seems like it operates normally other than the noise.

    Any help much appreciated.

    I can't get your video to work, but would guess the bearing is shot, there has been a lot of issues with this

    Without telling us what the issue was this post is pretty pointless as it helps nobody that may have the same issue. Care to share what the issue was?

    The bearing was shot, it had done about 200Km.

    Was it hard to replace?

    Nope! Pretty straight forward. You just have to take your time and be delicate. When I replace the bearing in the other motor I will post a vid!

    Glad you got it sorted Milly!

    I'm not going to delete this as the vid you uploaded is a very clear troubleshooting vid, thanks for sharing it. Plus the fact that you've managed to update us with a solution could be very handy for anyone else searching for a fix to the same issue in the future.

    I've updated your thread title to indicate a solution was found.

    :)

    Cool sounds good. I will do a bearing change video after the Christmas. I've got some NSK608 V bearings for the motors. They are a fully sealed barring..Will also document the results ☺
