Hello Edward t,
I see that we are already on the same path.
I was to come to brakes issue later.

This WAVE has two new NEO motors installed.

The customer called me that there was smoke and burning smell coming from the traction NEO motors. I ran over there and found out that the right brake overheated. The brake jaws changed color and there were scratches on them. The disc also had damage.

I've disassembled the brakes, sand out the scratches, cleaned them and put them back on. They click nice, the disc seems completely free but the motors are still getting hot and that is my concern.

Are there any issues with brakes?
Is there something fishy with them that I should watch out for?
