The problem I had was a contact problem. Try pointing the contact on the motor towards the front of the car. (the little metal tab on the motor) I found that helped.

Did you try puting a razor blade under the metal tab and bend it up a little bit so it gets better contact? That helps alot of times. Try that.

im gonna go back to the store sometime and see if i can get it exchanged ... cuz MTL's works fine... so there's GOtta be some good 3.0s
yeah, i tried bending the tab, stuffing tin foil back there, cycling it for like an hour... but still, no dice.....

Hehe...sorry I don't have any spares...but I suggest either going back to your LHS, or ordering motors that aren't meant for bit racers.

I'M A HOSER TOO...LOL that means $20cdn. Still that's a huge ripoff just for a good engine, and it took a week or so to come from the USA. As for Toyeast, as long as you order stuff in substantial bulk, shipping won't rape you.
