Hello im trying to restore my old outrage and a have noticed a strange behavior of the car.
I have 3A lipo battery and a 60 A hobbywing esc with stock mabutchi motor.
While test running the car for around 15 min inside the house the motor gets hot to the point i cant touch it , is it normal? the esc is pretty cold.
The other thing i noticed is while trying to do donuts when turning the car in on direction i hear higher rpm than the opposite site.
In one direction while doing donuts the car remains almost at the same spot doing cyrcles while on the oposite side the car makes big cyrcles. What is the problem?
Thanks!

Could there be binding on one side of the diff or one axle?

When i hold the rc in my hands full throthle and put pressure on the left and then on the right wheel i feel the same power

Weight distribution? Shot bearing?

Wheel rubbing against the rear hub?
