To check if mechanical or cogging you can disconnect the phases and just push or get pulled by someone. I would agree with bboy, guessing it’s a bearing, not ESC related.
This sounds like a motor bearing issue, but without the load that sounds like the microstutters you get at no load. Seems like two different things but bad bearing fits.
Thanks I am having him look into both… Thanks guys
I sometimes get a similar sound on one of my TB 6380’s on a 3d’s helical drive. I’m not sure if it comes from the motor or drive but messing with the axle nut tightness seems to get rid of the clicking.
That looks like part of the thrust bearing that is used in those drives.
It is. It’s also whats used to space the bearing for the wheel pulley in the drive.
So if that bearing was loose or in the wrong spot it could create the sound we heard?
Your gonna need a picture of where you pulled it from.
So there’s 2 thrust bearing assemblies. One under/after the motor pulley. Then one after the mount. So motor to gear drive assembly. That’s 4 of those now.
He uses 3 of those as a spacer under the slave/wheel pulley to space the bearing there.
His got a video of doing a motor replacement on his Facebook group. Also my 2021 kaly 2.0 same thing.
