I have an xf 250 that is about 9 months old that has started getting louder. Was dead quiet until recently . Cleaned it with no change. When first turned on it is still quiet, but after its on for a few hours starts getting louder. Any ideas?
thx

Sounds like the propellers or the bushings may be worn out. Have you tried replacing the propeller bushings (the ones that attach the propeller to the motor block) with new ones?

Try removing the propellers and the cages and running the motor block by itself. Does it still make the noise? If it does not, then you know the issue is either the propellers or the cages. I would also suggest swapping the propellers and cages with the spare set that arrived in the box (if you have a maxspect gyre... not an IceCap).
