spectra Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I know times are tight but I think it is about 70 bucks to have it rebuilt. For the price it might be worth it. I know it does not take much to break them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Salvador Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Are you sure its the motor? Are you sure its the motor and not the gears? you can pick up most of the stuff that you need to repair the unit out in Beaverton at Tammies Hobby store. Thats were I got my parts for it. They are nothing more the RC cars parts in that thing. Take it apart and see if the arm broke or the gears. You can even pick up a motor there. LOL Hope that helps some what. Hasta la vista.

El Salvador Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 PS PS. Don't for get to bring the gears with you so they can much them up for you. You should also replace the arm on the pump. it's under $3 bucks I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
