the capcitors are okay, its just scuffed, it meters okay and noted lower interfearance with the higher rated dual caps.
from the wearing on the comm, the comm seems to be round. i'll throw up a pic of the brush wear, but it seems okay as well. i'll even see if i can get some video of it in action and what it does.
what do you mean by solder?.. where? on the end of the brush?
i'm going to try soldering the brushes onto the bell as well but otherwise the screws are down tight. as well i'm going to swap the armature, but i havent got to that yet..
.. sucks, i going out the track tomorrow morning and i dont have a good motor as yet. just a worn 16t .. sigh.
