Motor cleaning...
Darn. First my dirty axle, now this. My Motor has gotten dirty to the point that my car randomly stops. Is there a way to clean it without unsoldering the wires and diode? I was thinking motor cleaner spray, but i don't know if that removes commutator gunk.

motor cleaner spray will work and also WD 40 wil do it too. It also lubes it some.
