Re: Trans Am Race June 27, 2015

Thank you Bob for a super fun and competitive race.  I just wish I hadn't had the motor problems.  I think they were just over oiled as I took them both apart when I got home and polished the commutators, cleaned out the segments and the brushes.  Both seem to run fine on the power supply with no load.  I will have to test further to see if they are actually cured. The first motor had one pretty worn brush which I replaced from a dead motor. Anyway, I still had fun regardless of the results which is all that matters.

Regards
Rico
