The tale of two Warships D821 'Greyhound' Chipped



The chip arrived today and was fitted so far things are looking good. I took the opportunity to strip the old motor.  Closer inspection revealed the bearing closest to the commutator was tight on the shaft, having remove it and searched the workshop floor for it I found it on the workbench! A quick wizz with a 2.1mm reamer to clean the bore it turns much smoother. I’ll run it up tomorrow and check how much current it draws.
