How to take apart your Mamba 6800 motor...

The strangest thing was the mounting screws held the end cap into the motor mount, the actual can blew off of the end cap from the impact. I never would have thought that was the problem when I walked up to the car.

The pinion was still on too, just the little motor floating around under the body.

Still running though, I just gave it another lap around the apartment to make sure the JB Weld isn't secretly inside of the assembly causing harm. Although I was excited to get a chance to buy something new possibly, I am happy I fixed what I have.

Been there, done that with a similar motor. Except....my luck was worse. I shattered the rotor.

Thanks for the tutorial, is there some kind of work-around if there are no light poles nearby?
