Re: Motors randomly stopped working

The motor will be considerably harder to turn because you are now turning the gearbox as well. Compound that with the fact that you are trying to turn a small output shaft to rotate a gear set designed to increase torque in the opposite direction to turn the motor means that you are fighting the laws of physics in a way that will cause you to use more effort to get the job done.
