Bad Karma does exist.
I took ages trying to get an armature out of an old 27t sealed stock motor so I could skim it.
Then the band must have stretched on the lathe, BANG. threw the commutator into bits. The lathe bit is now in a bad way too I think.
I wanted to put it into another can and use it in my sons car, maybe *if allowed* race it..... wont be doing that now!
