Re: drive train wearing out?

Hmm, That seems very strange. Over time a motor will gradually wear out but, it should take longer than that. Perhaps greasing your transmissions will help with some of your power loss. Other than that I'm stumped. Possibly changing the motors could be an option if you have the time.
