Why's my motor sticking??

[loose]

Hi can anyone help? got an old Spashett 11 double that for some reason has decided that it needs a push to get going.

Basically from a standing start nothing happens when you hit the throttle. Give the car a nudge or just turn the shaft and away it goes no problem. Can come off the throttle and as long as the revs dont stop altogether its fine when you get on the throttle again. Let it come to stop though and it wont start again.

Sorry if that sounds a bit confusing. Any ideas?? Brushes look fine.

its shit in brush tubes try changin the brushes and flushing the tubes and end bell with motor spray also dont use wd40 or simalar fot the bearings this causes the same problem

I would think it would need a skim nad new brushes as well as motors that need a skim esc need a nudge to get the going sometimes.

Sticky Brush, deffo. Clean with motor spray, clean out the crap and just tug the brushes a few times to loosen em up, shud be fine.

What are you going on about . Are you telling me that if my car don't want to go of the start line i should take my body off and give the speedo a little nudge . Take the motor apart and give it a good clean. I found this when i was using the V2 motors. Also give the EDGE brush a try as this has a flat profile on one side to allow some of the dirt to pass out.

Cheers all thanks for that. I'll give it a clean and check the brushes again, hopefully it'll be fine for the weekend.

Thanks again.

your talking complete crap again ash, please don't give people advice when you havent got a clue, ''motors than need a skim need a nudge to get the going'' funniest thing ive read in a long time!
there's already been a thread about this not long ago!

[bigred5765]

he isnt actualy, motors that you have to nudge or push to get going quiet often need a good skim and or new brushes, which usually involves cleaning out as well,so what he says is right just he didnt explain it that well,

rubbish carl.
with a v2 motor 99% off the time the problem is due to a build up of dirt/muck/brush-residue in the tube's thus stopping the brush from making proper contact with the comm, nothing what so ever to do with it needing a skim, in fact the current batch especially the spashett's with enduro sprint brushes work fine even when the comm is near black.
