funny noise

[Born2drift]

ok i had a small play with my rc, then when i went to use it next, it wouldnt stop moving as in just stayed at 1 speed and wouldnt stop, some 1 said let it dry so i went back to it like 20 mins and i did then later and it was fine

then today it all the sudden started making this bad noise from the engine and it wouldnt ark up as soon as i hit the gas, if u hav eva driven a car with a stuffed clutch it was like tat and just wouldnt engage

the motor may require new brushes, or a comm cut, or replacing.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i thought so i will take it to some place see what they think

if it's the reedy 19Turn, Bowling ball (on this site) cut the comm once for me already... i dont know if it will take another cut.

you only get between 3 to 20 runs out of a motor (depending on motor and brushes) before it needs a comm cut and brush replacement. Keep this in mind when buying/using a motor.

Some mod motors you can only run 3 to 5 times, for a 5 min race, before requiring a full pull down and rebuild, comm cut, brush replacement, etc.

there's lots to learn.

PHC offer a motor rebuild service for $20 we cut your motor clean it and change brushes price includes brushes you leave it here and pick it up the next day!!!

there is not really a set number of runs you can do per cut or how many cuts you get out of a comm some motors i get 20 runs out of and other i cut every run it depends on wear and how bigger meeting it is!!!!!! !evil
