About a year ago I bought my first RC car: a Tamiya XB Super Manta Ray RTR
buggy
I havent touched it for about 12 months. Nothing has been upgraded on the
buggy.
Recently just got interested in RC again and charged up a battery.
The buggy behaved like the last time I ran it - nothing out of the ordinary
(for the few seconds I
ran it indoors anyway)
On a whim I purchased a Tamiya Super Stock Motor Type-T and put it into the
buggy.
I place the buggy so the wheels don't touch the ground and push the trigger
on my transmitter.
In terms of spinning, the wheels appear to look (and sound) faster.
However there are 2 problems. As the wheels initially start to spin up there
is a very loud
screeching type of noise. After a second or two (when the wheels reach their
maximum speed)
the screeching isn't there. As the wheels slow down again (by letting go of
the trigger
on the transmitter) the screeching noise is there again. I do not know where
the noise
is coming from, it sound like something is making contact with something it
should not -
I'm not sure I'm even describing the sound correctly. I do know for sure
it does not sound right and did not occur when I had my old motor in.
Secondly, the buggy goes very much slower than it did before I replaced the
motor.
Can someone help me?
