I have a 3.5 NeoTat RCA and i got it in FEB 2012. I use it all the time as a coloring machine with 9-15 mag needles at about 9.5 volts. Ive noticed lately maybe a month or so that its gotten alot louder and its starting to heat up. I clean and lube it regualry, any help would be awesome. Its the original style and not the vivace.
Ive been having the same issue.
Call or email NEOTAT about it. It could be an issue with the fit of the glide.
I had the same problem with a Vivace so I spoke to Ray and he said the same thing about a tight slide so I stripped it down and cleaned it then put it back together but still the motor started to heat up after about 5mins use. I have sent the machine to Ray for him to have a look at it, I will post a thread when I get it back and let you know what happens.
sounds like a tight slide to me too i have vivaces and they run like butter call ray hell take care of it for u they have great customer service.
i had sent him an email on here a week or so ago with no luck yet. i will have to call him and or email him through his website and hope for a response that way.
Call its a simple fix.
Sending any of the builders pms on the site will not guarantee you get a speedy response since they are usually busy building and the normal workflow for most is interrupted when people place orders or take up warranty issues on here.
i called and they are gonna take care of me! they have great service i just hope for a speedy turn around. they said i could be a bad fit on the slide causing the trouble.
mine also heats up but seems to run fine
just got one couple days ago and notices mine gets hot as hell.
ive had mine about a year , no problems so far. love it!
Mine used to get hot running T-techs but a quick call to Ray and changing to super lube oil sorted that.
Might be worth a try if you are using cartridges.
Shoot ray an email. Some simple troubleshooting wi usually fix a hot machine.

i just put the superlube grease where the rotating metal disc thingy is . the rest(slide area etc) i use clipper oil or super lube oil and it runs super quiet and smooth. never had it get hot at all
