2012 Signature P85, probably original RDU. Purchased from original owner. As depicted in the video "spaceship" sound upon acceleation. That sounds stops immediately when you take you foot off the accelerator. Lastly, whirling sound depicted in video emanating from RDU when coming to stop. Video "says a thousand words".
Best theory I've heard so far is that original RDU's bearings used stainless steel balls, which are conductive and over time can develop pitting due to arcing through the bearing. That would explain the spaceship sound since the sound is absent once let off on the accelerator.
Later RDUs (~2015 or newer), should have ceramic balls in the bearings, which fixed the arcing issue for the most part.
Thoughts? Anyone have similar issue? Thx. @Rossvw
