HELP!!! Gears Keep locking!!!!
 

ok this happend to me twice today on two seprate Xmods, ok (problem 1) I was working on a S2 red motor to turn, I keep looking at it and it seems that the gears are meshing together but, still everytime I put fresh batts in it would make a skeeking noise then stop!!! so I took it out and just put a stock motor. (problem 2) the Next one was Just when I got a new motor from the mail, it turned when I installed it and then much later it locked!!! I opened it and loosend it up so i'll turn so it did, but then now sometimes i'll go then lock then i'll have to push it a bit to go, then later on it'll just lock like Problem 1 ^ ARGHHH!! I am getting frustrated!!! any help!!!!!????

are you sure theres nothing wrong with the motor mounts or any damage to the gears. you might have a bearing or bushing out of place thats happened to mine a few times when i've worked on it. mainly on the right rear bulkhead.

checked, still nothing....

are you using the right bevel gear with the correct motor?red with red white with white?

yup, o yea the red one I have is water dipped

I think that's what happened to my 180 motor from atomicmods.com. It is hard to rotate clockwise by hand. I connected it to 9V and it would slowly turn clockwise(forward....it would roar counter clockwise(reverse).

What might have caused this problem? Maybe the motor was designed for more than 4 I-C3's? Or maybe b/c I was very slowly climbing a very grade working the motor?

Can someone fix my motor? I will pay shipping both ways. :)
