stiff shaft

[tommy217xxx]

Hey everyone, One of my shafts is spinning stiffer then the other 3. I'm thinking it might be the shaft being split. Does that sound right?

Did you check it with the gear removed? If not, could be a gear tooth issue. With the shaft traveling through an upper and lower bearing, you may have a stiff bearing rather than a split shaft.

I was puzzled by your comment at first, then I re-read my reply.

sorry.....couldnt help it. Wish I could help with the problem at hand, I just bought an mqx off of the sale forum last night and it is on the way to me. Don't know anything about troubleshooting them yet.

I would remove that shaft and check for splits, warps etc.........................

I just swapped the shafts and bearings around and I'm starting to think its a bad motor. I just tried to fly it and it kept lifting the front but not the back. It also feels notchy now.

Hey kelder, How do u get the little pod off that holds the motor to the boom?

[koi-fish]

u try oiling the bearings? One drop of silicone oil on each.........

I'd try the same thing on the motor you think is going bad,

Ok, So I caused my own lift off problem. When I swapped shafts I left the rotors on. I didn't notice that they were different. The motors are working pretty good. I swapped the motors around everything seems to be flying alot better.
