Today did not go well for my RC cars. I tried to do a speed run with the Hyper ST and i couldn't get to full throttle. It crashed doing over 50MPH resulting in a broken hub and a short session.
The i went out with the Xray and the motor smoked taking the ESC with it. I've had the motor since May 2018 and it was used in the hyper ST on 4S originally. it was then moved into the Xray where it has run very well on 4S. You may have seen recently i have tried it on 6S and already the motor temps were ok it seems to have died :(

You can clearly see the bearings in the hub with the silver wheel nut have worn out. I will be ordering a full new kit of bearings from RCbearingsUK to replace any that become worn.
Bad bearings make your car slower, have less run time and makes both the motor, ESC and battery run hotter, so its a good idea to check them every now and then.
The bearings in the hubs at the end of the axles spin the slowest, but will need replacing most often as they are the bearings which get the most dirt and grime in them. I highly recommend rubber shield bearings for this area.
