R-spec, no longer works
 

I bought an Rspec motor from tinyrc, it worked great for the first two weeks. Now it can't even turn the wheels. Does any one know how to fix this? (its not the car( I tried the motor on both my cars and it does the same thing))

Any help would be apreciated

Are your gears properly meshed?

To test, put the motor in and hold the car up, then manually spin the rear wheels...Does it spin readily? Or is it an effort?

If it's an effort then the gears aren't properly aligned, keep fiddling with the gears until the rear wheels can spin easily and your motor will work right.

no, the gears are fine...when I take the gears off and let the motor run all by itself, it spins very slowly...and hardly makes any noise.....so its not the gears...

no one else has any suggestions?

The same thing happened to me, and my R-Spec.

Try charging it like 4-5x, because it seems to drain MORE out of the battery than usual.

charged it 4 times, put the car on the ground, pressed forward, a wild jolt!, and after five inches back to a crawl :(

I wonder what is wrong with it :confused:

try WD-40! It works like a dream!

just tried the wd40...unfortunately it had no effect

Just did the double cell mod....OMG....incredible....the rspec was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fast, unbelieveable amount of torque/speed, so I guess its ok now....thanks guys sorry for the trouble
