Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / July 2003Mini cooper problem after running fast
I have this m03 mini cooper and put an engine of unknown origin that the hobby shop guy only could say "wow" when I asked him about it. I paired it with a novak hammer pro and yes, this litle monster can move. Problem is, after 5 minutes it starts to vibrate on deceleration. I havent gotten around to putting metal bearings. Would this most likely be the issue? TIA Can you give a better description of the vibration? Is it the whole car or just the motor? Yes, axles will vibrate in bushings if they are sufficiently worn. Try some lightweight oil on the bushings to see if that helps. Too much oil will attract dirt, though. If you can get sealed bearings, that will be much better.

They are oiled at the moment, using a heavier grease, but I plan to switch to bearings next weekend. I would check the powertrain. is it belt or shaft drive?
