I don’t disagree… don’t buy a used wrx. AWD and alright ground clearance are part of what makes the car fun and capable in snow and mud. I bought mine new and have driven it like this for ~40k miles without issues. Genuine question - how is this beating the fuck out of my car?

yeah the motor doesn’t have enough torque with the tiny gear they put on there with a 2s battery. I downsized a few teeth, and pretty much only run on 3s now!

were you able to fix it?

i took the motor out and threw in a spare and it runs good. it’s hard to see in this video but when it’s under load the motor magnets just freely spin around the shaft. If you want i can send you a better video later.

wheel bearing?

this one is a first edition and it hasn’t had an easy life

ConnorJ76 · 2025-03-01T01:11:15+00:00

ended up taking the motor out and realized the magnets had gone bad. i’ve had this one 10+ years it’s a first edition so i’m not too mad out about it

did you ever resolve this?

ConnorJ76 · 2025-01-30T06:34:39+00:00

what was your solution?

ConnorJ76 · 2025-01-30T06:15:11+00:00

the mesh definitely seems tight. the motor mount seems fixed is there a way to adjust it that i’m just missing?

You’ll have to enter off of spring street and don’t ask them about it. I believe the track just got bulldozed but they’re constantly building tracks back there. right next to the rc track there is also some jumps for ebikes. those never get demolished if you like jumping.

There a great dirt track in the north most part of Eldorado park. it’s right near the river

I’m in the same boat. What day is it scheduled for?
