We just upgraded my son's Granite boost with a 4x4 kit. The thing was super fun and amazing, however the engine got hot, I actually saw some smoke, and it smells horrible, we stopped driving it and let it cool then finished the battery with pulling the 4x4 drive line but it still smelled bad.
It appears to be the same motor as the granite mega 4x4 factory model. Stock pictures show the same motor and no heat sink/fan? I actually had someone tell me we might want a fan, but figured the factor 4x4 mega didn't have it with the same motor so we didn't need it...
Did we just get a bad motor or why wouldn't they put it a fan on the factor 4x4 model if it needed it? I'm presuming the smoke and smell is not a natural break in thing... lol.
My son probably has 15-20 charges on it and never had a problem till the 4x4 upgrade. He said he read something about the car supposed to shut off and cool down if it gets over heated... Is it supposed to do that?
Is there a factory warranty? I'm presuming there probably isn't...
Thanks in advance
