the light was on. i found out the problem. i slightly overtightened the cap screws that holds the endbell on and a deformed the ring that the endbell screws onto. i straightened it out again and the motor is fine.

Could someone either take pictures of how to rebuild it or explain what steps I need to take?
Thank you,

For gearing it really depends on the track size. A 8.5 would be good for a tight technincal short track. For a larger track you may want a 8.0 or lower.

Im in quite a dilema. I took apart my vantage to give the comm a cut, and when I removed the endbell, one of the copper looking pieces being the tubes where the brushes are inserted fell out. I took the board off of the endbell and tried to slide the copper looking piece back in, but it broke. Is there any way i can get a new piece or do i need a new motor? Or maybe can I just buy an endbell adaption kit?

Yeah those bits are available seperately. I have also just soldered a link accross when i've been desparate at the track. However, you have to be very careful doing this as you can end up with too much there and it'll hit the comm tabs!
