Sport tuned motor completely dead - is there anything I can do??

[technics100]

I have a tamiya sport tuned motor.  I received it with a car I bought on ebay.  The motor is completely dead and does nothing when a battery in plugged into it.  It there anything I can do to get it going or is it scrap?

 

Cheers

Bah, Scrap it, they're a £5er brand new from HK. And it's not Rebuildable

I suggest buy yourself a model boat.... then you can use the dud Sport Tuned as an anchor for it...

Try Charging your battery Pack.....

[theshopkeeper]

Turn the shaft by hand half a turn then connect it directly to the two poles on a charged battery.  If it slowly starts to turn, clean it internally with motor cleaner or even wash it through under the tap, and give it a good WD40ing.

If that doesn't solve it, bin it.

Mike  -  show me where you can buy them for £5 and I'll show you someone with excessive postage.

Well not exactly 5P, but Jason has them for 7.8Pounds with no exsessive shipping at all (3.4P worldwide)

Eh Well, near enough 5 pounds

Theo, if your gonna say 5P it can get confusing, as we have Pounds and Pence, and 10p etc is usually PENCE, i Suggest using GBP after the number :0

[DJTheo]

Well, a) I am not british and don't have the symbol on keyboard, I write P with capital to distinguish it from (p)ence and c) pence as well (euro- or US-)cents arent really relevant in our expensive hobby, so I irgnore them but you are right []

Ah Theo, i getcha I just meant the letters GBP after it, say...

"NIB SS FOR SALE

1500GBP"
