Starter Box help - 10-15-2007, 03:54 PM

Well My Purple Mugen box is no longer working. I'm sure it's not the batteries and it's not the wiring could it be the motors? I recently dropped a screwdriver down by one of the motors and it's not magnetized, I'm thinking this is what caused it and am just wondering if this is the problem what replacement motors I should buy.

I couldn't find it on A-main, B-main or Tower. I'm assuming they're aren't too much more than $20 though.

Ponch I'll think about it because buying new motors is only saving me $10 compared to yours. I'll let you know.

make sure the little brass posts are both touching the little middle post when you press it down, may have to take it apart and bend the little tabs in.

Well as I was trying to turn the motor over by hand I noticed the cb moved with it. Then I tried to spin it and no luck. There was a clutch shoe knocked out of place and it was catching. So the box was trying to turn over my motor and the truck. So I charged the batteries last night and am going to see if I can't get it started this morning.
