new motor?
 
is it possible to purchase a new motor, some how one of my motors on my tank is getting horrible power. I cant even drive the tank without it going in a circle.

I had the same problem and i fixed it.
Remove the faulty motor from the pcb and out of the tank!.
Don't forget to note the polarity.Write it down!
Connect it to 2 AA penlite batteries (3volt) and let it run free for a few(4) hours.
Then put it back in. It worked for me.

Take both motors out of your tank and give them a free run for 2 - 3 hours at 2,4 V. Thatīs it.

Mmm, better try the faulty motor first or you could end up with the same problems you had before.
The trick is to balance the 2 motors.
The "good motor" is already running at it's top speed. The faulty one isn't so you have to balance the two by "running in" the faulty one first.

You allways have to run in a new motor - if you donīt you never get the best out of it. The brushes would thank you for a run in before trying what your tank is able to do (climbing for example) - if they only could speak...

You can ruin a brand new motor by first climbing without a run in !

Ruin means not that it wouldnīt work anymore but the best is gone for ever...
