Hey, i have a fastrax starter box... ive had it for some time now but recently one of the brushless motors has started to jam up, it used to be bang it with a screw driver and it would start.... but now its got beyond that, does anybosy know what could be wrong? thanks.

Yea, its this starter box[link=http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFunction=ShowSpecification&ItemID=27557]HERE[/link] , but as i said... i fixed the jamming by shoving a screw driver in there.... upon trying to start the car i blew the motor lol, smoke started coming out.... not good XD probably due to most of the teeth like thing on the fan are completely stripped of ect... the other motor is fine... i need to find a new one now... will any brushless 500 motor do?

Gado

That uses brushed motors not brushless. Check for binding or crud in the teeth. where do you poke the screwdriver?

oh, i miss read :P thaks for pointing that out... Well, there was alike a slip in the motor "casing" with a fan like thing in it.. i poked it in there which made a few sparks... got it working... just the fan thing has been blown to bits (was blown before the screw driver went in..... probably got a stone or sumin jamemd int there.
