Need a little help
well, my motor sounds like it is about to explode, and I need help on what I should do about it. It's a 1.0 and I've had it for about 3 weeks.

There are no gears on it at all, not even the gear that goes on the motor, and it sounds the same even when all gears are on. I've been thinking of dunking it in rubbing alchohol, but I wonder if there is another way to lube the motor. (It is NOT the gears that squeak.)

It sounds like dust in the space where the piece of metal that turns the first gear meets the outside of the motor.

When my motor was making awful sounds....a combination of WD-40 and baby powder worked for me
I sprayed the WD-40 where the shaft meets the brass bushing and dunked it in babypowder afterwards....
just make sure that you don't go overboard and coat the whole thing in WD-40 or else dirt and more crap will stick to it....

I'm afraid that your suggestion didn't work, in fact, it sounds worse!  I need help.

sounds like a bearing place is dry. when these motors die its hard to fix them. 1.0s are cheap. if you want another one you can get one cheap here-

along with lots of other (faster) motors. yes.
