Stage 2 motor problem???
 

OK i was driving my car and like 2 minutes later the motor just stoped. I took it apart put it back together ran for a second then nothing. The sterring still works but the motor doesnt. I thought it was the board so i wired my stage 1 motor and it ran perfect. So i hooked the stage 2 back up and nothing but if i spin the armature a few times and hit the gas it would go?? then nothing.

whats wrong?

also I only used this motor 4 times.

Check your batteries and see if you have the right spacer in the motor to go with the pinion. Also see if anything is binding.

whats the spacer??

When your changing the motor, did it come with instructions ? If so, read it. It says. If not, the thing between the motor cradle and the motor itself.

ohh i know what you meen but thats not the problem the motor will shut off

What do you mean shut off ? Please try and be more detailed about it so I can help you.

ok i will keep hitting the gas and the motor want make a sound lol but if i spin spin the armature a few spins it will come back to life then die and then nothing

What ? I barely understood that. Try and use puncuation.

From what I got from it, just change the batteries for fresh ones. How can you spin the armature while the motor is installed ? If you mean the wheels, does something feeling like it's binding or is it free to spin ?

i just charged the batteries again and sorry yeah i took the motor out of its case and just kept the wires in the car. Its like the motor is binding because if i spin the armature it trys to run then it stops. hope some of this is helping you out

Does the armature spin free when you spin it ? I would say open it up and check the stuff inside, but I'm not too sure that you'll be able to put it back together. Or this might be a manufacture defect and just exchange it.

yes it spins just fine yeah i guess i will try and take it back then.
Thanks for your help.

did you use too big of a gear, thats what i did and got the same results. sometimes biger is not better

dude read the rules! this thread is months old!


where are the mods these days????

here is my two cents

1. the motor armature shaft could be bent
2. there could be something in the motor
3. the motor could just be plain faulty
