Good luck with that outer ring of the bearing. Try to heat up the casing (it's aluminum so should change shape quickly) by either leaving it in the sun for a while or a blow dryer. Then, try to cool only the bearing (ice, frozen nail/screwdriver) by touching it with the cold item. Let me know how it goes!!

I bought a v3 big rock as soon as they came out and a week later the bearing ( large side ) exploded and locked the motor up. At the time I didnt know what the issue was. Arrma sent me a new motor same spec so I installed that and the old motor is sitting in my parts box. I did and would reccomend putting a small o ring on the shaft behind the pinion gear. It will keep dirt out. Just dont put more than one as it will cause the motor to drag against the end cap and will eventually burn up. I did this with the new motor and it has been perfect since. Thanks for the video! Great info.

No worries thank you so much. Got a question too ask? Where do you get those shims on back of the motor. You know the sad face things. I have another motor I'm fixing and now know why it broke on me. Thanks to your video. But I must have lost those when I took the motor apart a year ago. If could tell me what or part number would be great. Thank you!! ☠️💯🥃

@@skeletorrc2583 Honestly, I don't know where to buy them. My best guess would be to try to source something similar to those at a hobby shop or Home Depot. I doubt that Amazon would carry them, but possibly on Ebay. Maybe you could try to contact Spektrum directly, but I think you have to go through Horizon. Their solution would be to send a new motor though. Good luck and let me know if you find a solution!

Great video, I have noticed clicking in my granite on the first run but It wasn't that. Then after a bit it went away pretty much. I dont know why it was doing that becuase i checked almost everything. Thanks.

Sometimes a small stone or stick can get in there and then disintegrate. Sometimes things get stuck in the wheels and can make a clicking sound too, and then fall out.

That's interesting...... I got a bunch of Arrma Granites well I got alot of Arrma and traxxas trucks and a few other brands. But anyway my Granites all had Arrma branded motors.... I got the BLX v3s and they have the BLX 3660 3200kv motors.. I haven't gotten one with a stock spektrum 3660 3200 motor.. that's pretty cool bro and those are my V3 trucks.. my v2 and OG V1 granites also had the BLX motors same size same kv.. and I even ordered two new Granites from horizon hobby I picked up a new mega v3 and a blx v3 and they legitimately just showed up a hour ago.. and my blx has a blx motor as well.. that's cool you got the better motor lol.. I normally swap my blx motors and ESC's for real spektrums and remove Arrmas blx / spektrum hybrids. I mean nothing wrong with the BLX systems but I found out that true spektrum esc and motors work better and seem to have more "ass" behind em.. excuse the language 😂. But it's true.. now one of my Granites I built up is my project joker truck.. it's got the outcast 4s body which is black I put the arrma Skinz joker skin on the chassis which I paid alot to get it here to north Carolina lol. It's normal 15 dollars but shipping across the atlantic ocean is like 35 dollars lol.. so I ended up spending 50 dollars for it.... But I got two I got the joker and the lollipop girl for my Granites and ordered more yesterday for my outcast 6s ect. But anyway my project Granite mega v3 has all metal arms shocks rods it came stock with metal gearing but I went ahead and swapped em out for hot racing bullet proof diffs so it's all metal now I made a custom aluminum center drive shaft at my dad's machine shop it's hella nice and it's anodized to a candy apple green color. My motor and spur module is aluminum also green my arms are green my rods are purple shocks are purple but I also got green ones as well. It's 99% integy hop ups. Now the motor is a 4076 surpass 2200kv it's black with the fins on it and the esc is a hobbywing Quicrun BL 120 and I run it on my Ovonic 5200 50c 3s lipos. Which I love those batteries very durable and trustworthy batteries. I had one of em charged fully for 3 weeks I totally forgotten bout it and I went to check it n discharge it and balance back out.. and when I checked it it was still at 12.6 V all cells where equal still..... 99% capacity which 3 of my chargers said the same thing.. so yeah those Ovonics are amazing. So I run them 110% on everything.. but yeah man you can put a 4076 size motor in your Granites it leaves a 1/4" space between the back plate and the reciver box you would have to press a little harder to get the motor out but it's worth it 😂.. it's so much faster then it was with my blx 3200 and my outcast 4s motor which is a 3668 size which is also a really good upgrade to a bigger motor. But that 4076 is a straight up monster in the granite. Way more torque and top end I got a 17t pinion on a 57 spur all mod 1 all steel atm. My other granites except my new mega v3 I just got which is my 4th mega truck all has hot racing and other steel spurs in them.

Thank you for the thoughtful response, I really enjoyed reading it! That's so cool that you made a custom center driveshaft! I bet that purple and green looks amazing! I'll have to take a look at those Ovonic batteries...Ive been using spektrum batteries, but keep losing cell balance, even after balancing, so I'm getting some dead cells, but might be from the hard bashing, not sure. Thanks for all the info and tips, I really appreciate it!

My local shop didn't have the bearings in stock so I called arrma direct. I explained my motor was messing up and the internal bearings were shot. He said they know that motor has had known issues and did not have part numbers for the bearings. So instead they are sending me a new motor (and new steering servo cause I had to replace that 2 weeks ago) for no charge, even free shipping. I figured I'd post that information incase anyone else had the same issue. I'll get the bearings ordered on line and have a backup motor now.

@@rcleesd My bearing had a complete failure and came completely apart inside the engine. Getting all the broken pieces was easy, but getting the race out was a pain! The only way I was able to get the rest of the bearing out was to drill 2 1/16 holes on either side of where the shafts comes threw and use a small punch to tap it out. Once the new bearings come in and I get everything back together I plan on putting silicone over the holes to keep moisture and dust/ dirt out of it and this will be a backup motor. Think the silicone will work or is there something else I should use to seal it?

So I am new to this and thanks a lot for the detailed information. Can you explain though how do I get the pinion out? After I got the screw out it is still stuck on the shaft. How do I pull it out? And later how do I install it in? Same about the motor cap and the cooling Metal thing. How do I pull those out and get them back in? Is there. Video on this?
@rcleesd3 жыл бұрын
It is possible that some of the locktite from the tiny grub screw (that holds the pinion to the shaft). If you have the newest version, there is a small "C-clip" (shaped like a "c") on the end of the motor shaft, right next to the pinion gear. Just push a pair of pliers (or anything, really) against the "open" part of the clip, and it should pop off the shaft. Hope this helps, the motor cap is difficult, sometimes you can put it in the sun or the refrigerator to get the metal to expand or contract, might help loosening those end caps.
