end of the motor shaft around where it goes into the motor. Let it soak in for a few minutes. Then retest the motor. I bet you it will sound and run a lot smoother than it is right now. And driving in lots of dirt, water or sand will do that to a brushed motor. You bushings are probably not worn out but everything in there is dirty so it is louder and less efficient.
The titan 775 does not have bearings. It has bushings. But yes, that sounds a little more gruff than a smooth running motor should sound like. Did you break the motor in? By that I mean just drive nice and easy for the first set of batteries. I have noticed that makes a big difference. Try getting some electric motor cleaning spray and spray out the motor thoroughly (spray down through the top holes of the motor). Then get some oil (all-purpose lubricating oil) and put a drop on each...

@larsen8or117 True!
I flushed in in water for about 2 minutes, then re-oiled it, and all ran without problems and noises! :)

Glad to hear it. Now go out and put that motor to use!
