      has anyone got any tips on motor maintenance?

      Both my iwaver motors seem to be running pretty slowly, alot slower then when they came out of the box. I’ve tried different sets of batteries to no avail. I’ve got a feeling that cause we run on a dusty cement floor alot of cruds working itself into somewhere it ain’t supposed to be. My mates car which hasn’t had as much run time as me here in the warehouse absolutely canes me on the straights. Can i get it back to its former glory?

      cheers.

      maybe the brushes are worn out? change the brushes, open the motor can, clean it(spray with high pressure air).
