Not the toy car but one of the rear wheels on my Syncro after a run out.

Heard a slight scraping when I pulled away the other day but it settled down. The sound seemed to increase on a roundabout. Got home and something smelt warm. The wheel itself was quite hot compared to the other rear.

Bearing? Hand break sticking? Any Advice welcomed and hugely appreciated!

Thanks

Jack rear wheel and give it a spin. Binding? Any graunchy noise? Compare with other rear

Brake pads sticking? Has this on my T25 2WD where the pad dust had built up to such an extent that the pad could go in but not release. It got very hot, noisy and pulled steering off centre. Had no tools with me so popped into nearest garage and they spent 10 mins clearing out the gunk for me.

Thanks guys. Just back from a quick spin and no noise/rubbing/heat. Will take it out again at the weekend for a good run under load to see if it occurs again. If so I'll get it jacked up an report back.

Thanks for the suggestions
