Damaged T4A motors
Southern Sailor:
I have damaged the motors in my HMS Goliath aircraft carrier. They are the Mobile Marine Models T4A and otherwise are great motors to run. A bit difficult (for me at least) to connect to and in doing so I damaged the connection - I think inside the motors. It seems that the back plastic cover will slide of the motor to enable me to get inside to repair the connections, but I am nervous about things flying off in all directions when the cover comes off. Can anyone advise please? Thanks. Brian
nemesis:
Blueprint everything before you start, then disassemble very gently ( in a confined space) expecting things to fly off. nemesis
Southern Sailor:
Yes that is the safe way. I have since heard that it is not guaranteed that the motor will run again if one dismantles it, so I will try to redo the soldered joint instead first. Thanks. Brian
chas:
I might be asking the obvious, but have you asked MMM? They probably know the motors better than anyone.
Southern Sailor:
Hi Chas, yes I have. They said that it is a finicky business and they warned me that the motor might not work after the operation. Not sure why, but if there are springs and things holding brushed etc then I would prefer to stay well clear. The nice thing about this forum is that there is so often someone who has done the thing before and can offer help - alas not this time. Cheers. Brian
