Angry What the heck.....

Man i found my old walker bulldog and decided to try and run it so I popped in a battery and everything worked but the tank did not move at all! ...it's been sitting for about 4+ years ... I could not turn the sprockets and I am like ***!
Meanwhile the esc burnt out... the tank had the old first pot metal type gears they both where so stick I could hardly move them just a hair by the pinion gear so i put oil on everything and it did not work ,next sprayed desgreaser that did not work so i kept forcing it by hand by trying to turn the pinion gear and road wheel and finally i could move them but they where binding hard as hell! so now that the board is blown i hook a battery straight to the motors and run them a bit and find the gears are just melting away! What where those old gears made of from sitting they like rotted and got weak?

anyhow now i need a old 27mhz board that will be hard to find i bet and 2 new gear boxes!
