My motor blew up!
I think the brushes went bad on my 2.2 motor, it suddenly went really slow, about half it's normal speed, then it just died.
I took it apart, and bent what was left of the brushes back into shape, and it sort of runs now, had the endcap 180 deg out of sync (ran backwards), (I guess this means it could be possible to change the timing on these little things???)
What really stings me, is the fact this was a fairly new motor (I didn't even reach 2 hours of total runs! -and I never ran more than 1 cell too!
So I really need a new motor, either a 2.2 or maybe a 2.6... Something that won't just up and DIE on me.
I want torque more than top speed, so I think I should get a 2.6, but I don't know what manufacturer is best (ie not DOA)
Any suggestions?
