I have a problem with my little switcher that I just can't figure out. The spectrum 44 tonner have two motors in it, one for each truck. The motors seem to aquire a dead spot and won't run but one at a time in witch the engine doesn't move because a motor won't go. I have cleaned the wheels, pick ups, brushes, the hole shabang. Sometimes the motor restarts, most times not. I have replaced both motors, sent one back, rereplaced it, ram the engine for a total of maybe 12 - 15 hours and the engine is down again. Has any one else had this problem with the 44 or 70 tonners (both set up the same) and what did you do to fix it. I love the looks of this engine, I'd hate not to be able to use it. Any suggestions? P.S. I don't run it at excesive speeds to damage it. thanks
