[Johnno]

Turned up the music and put in some practice tonight.

The Slot.it Can-Am was going great until it started spluttering and carrying on then a very bad electrical smell hit me and the room.

Not another motor!!! I hit the work bench and pulled the car down only to see two strands of competition soft copper braid wire sticking out of the motor vents, oh no!!!

Pulled the strands out and let the motor cool a little (it was slightly hot, not red hot but hotter than normal) back on the track things seem to be working once again and no more awful electrical smell.

The motor again is alive and working, phew.. time to use up this very soft competition copper braid and never buy it again, though it will take a few weeks or so to get through the 1metre I bought
