After running a few of these cars they are now due for some tune ups.
Curious me has to take a motor out of the chassis to see what makes 'em run.
#1. While I have the motor(s) out of the chassis , do I need to oil or lube any parts of the bushings or anything of the sort ? Or should I have done that before break-in or do these cars require a breakin period or pre maintance before running?
#2 . Now for my real question (problem to me).
How the heck do I get the dang motor assembly back into the chassis?
It seems if I stick the connector end of the motor in first the angle of the motor pod casing will not be allowed to fall in place due to the chassis .
If I stick the motor pod assembly in flush and square the connectors on the motor end will not fall in place behind the connectors that connect to the shoe springs.
How am I to get the motor back in the chassis?
