Funny how I have yet to buy parts for my $85 car...and it has easily 8,000
(no joke!) laps on it.

What type of brushes you running? If they are hard brushes it will eat the comm up quickly. Check your brush springs too, if they are to to strong you will eat the comm up. Try bending them slightly to reduce a lil pressure on the brushes. Use a different set of brushes and see how it goes.

Welp...didn't make it yesterday.

Oh well,next week.

Xray...check the bushings on the can...possible wear and/or misalignment.Maybe a magnet or check the brace in between the magnets...been known to come loose and flop as you describe.After that..will have to look at it.M
