Re: Buggy BAG Motors

We had one get a bit flaky on us. Low torque, and if it stopped in a certain place it wouldn't start again, but if it ran continuously it would keep on running. Took it apart (very nicely made motor inside) and it seemed like the brushes may have been hanging up a little bit, took them out, put them back in, slid them back and forth a little bit, and it seems fine.
