I have an older 16TX3 Speedgems, it had an intermitent operating problem. Well i had a set of brushes for it, tore the motor down cleaned and lubed the bearings. Scuffed the burnt arc markings off the com. with a soft wire wheel. scuffed all the contacts.put it all back together and the same intermittent problem is still there. if I push in one of the brushes it works, so i assume the springs are too weak/worn. I have swapped the springs around with the same results. Sound right so far?
Next problem, there are no timing marks or reference marks anywhere. i should have marked it i know.
So what i have done so far is rotate the endbell for maxx rpm, then backed up a bit. is this correct? Any help would be appreciated. i'd like to get my Tamiya buggy back in action. I have not been able to drive an R/C in quite a while now. I'm also anxious to see if it runs better than the previous owners rebuild did.
i figure this motor in a 4wd buggy should at least be able to keep up with the 19T trucks, so far it has not.
My ESC is a 15T LRP Ai.
