You're right, it isn't a Wraith, how could you tell?

I can see the pixels. Clearly 'shopped.

I got my new motor and gears in on Sat, so mine's up and running again. Shoulda let me know you were gonna tool around!

Good to know. The belly pan was getting very hot and wasn't sure if it was the norm.

Let it cool off for a bit. Or if you're like me, submerge it upside
down! I suppose you could push it, I've never actually seen one go up in smoke...well, except Matts, but I'm pretty sure there was a deeper issue there.

All the stock Wraith motors get toasty if you run them hard for a long time, to the point where you cant even touch the belly plate. I think Phil, Chris, Matt and I have all 'smoked' our motors to an extend at some point. Three of us are still using our stock motors...

Matt's motor shenanigans are... well known.

So let's talk motors...... After wheeling my wraith for countless hours.... I'm now getting a ...... Burning smell coming from around the motor.

Not exactly burning electronics(I fry that shit for a living). But best I can explain is the motor is overheating. No smoke or flame.... Just toasty

It's hot to the touch aswell and dosent seam to have the low end balls like it did out of the box........

HELP!
