Thanks in advance for any help, I am fairly new to the RC world so go easy on me
History: My brother gave my son and I a gently used ECX Ruckus 2WD brushless. Everything was stock. We had it out a few times and the 2400mAh battery that came with the truck was not lasting longer than 10-15 mins. So we went down to the shop to get a spare battery that would last a little longer. We got a 5000mAh battery that ended up being defective. The battery got so hot during the first 10 minutes of using it, that it melted all the plastic coating. We brought it back that day and since they didn't have another, we got a 4000mAh lipo. He showed us how to set the cut-off and we were good to go.
We had about 5 sessions @ around 40 mins a pop until my son t-boned a curb and snapped one of the front arms. We replaced them with RPM arms and were good to go. We had another few sessions until one of the ears on a rear shafts snapped. After doing some poking around we went with the stainless steel ones from hot racing. I noticed that when I put the right rear tire on, and spun the wheels, it made a strange clicking sound and would only spin the left wheel if I was spinning the wheel very slowly.
Here is a video of the sound (
) when pushing the truck back and forth a few inches.
