Quick introduction:
I just bought a sinclair c5 1 week ago, it was not running but the guy I bought it from assured me it was the brushed, oh well I spent 150 euro to get it off his hands so not a bad deal right?
Ok I dismantled the motor cleaned it and put it back together just like this guy:
http://www.camp0s.com/Smart/c5/blog/23_02/motor.php Hooked it up pod comes on with all the lights (I did not attached the gearbox ) motor started...I thought great..
but after a letting go of the button....and trying it again, I just hear a clicking sound.
After 10 minutes I tried again motor starts up...but gets very hot!!!
What is wrong???
and another question, should I be able to rotate the motor with my hands? I mean how smooth should the rotor move in its housing?
