Have you lubed the motor bearings/bushings recently (should do it after every/everyother run)? Check the brushes, grab the braid that goes inside the motor and gently try to pull it out ~1/8". The brushes should slide in & out easily. You "may" have a hung brush. What rig is this? Is is dual ESC's? Is it a single ESC with a servo dig/punk dig? |

Dual ESC means......do you have 1 or 2 ESC's (speed controls)? When you say the "brushes are good", does that mean they slide freely or are long enough? If they get down to ~1/4" in length, the brush spring hits the brush hood and won't put any pressure on the brush. It's also possible you have a dead/dieing winding that causes the motor to not spin if a brush is on that segment. Best bet then is to replace the motor since a rewind is more than the motor is worth. |
