Hola everybody! I've got a motor question for those who may be able to assist me. I am aware that a good motor should sing but what about motors that howl down the straight? This is of course, a motor that's in a car. The reason I ask is that one of my motors and a couple of other motors that my friends own make that sound. This is both stock and a 13T single. Is there anything wrong with these motors? They don't seem to be down on power and personally, I really dig their sound (menacing and intimidating) Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi rt,

It sounds like they need oil. Use TRIBO Comm Lube or other synthetic lube. Put a drop on each end of the motor, bushing or bearing. Make sure your gear mesh isn't too tight.
