So pretty quickly after this video was uploaded my deadworld locked up again. I did enough research to realize that a replacement gearbox was an expensive direction. I pulled the gearbox again and soaked it with a combination of carburetor and brake cleaner and then blew it out with air from my shop compressor. I then extensively tested it out on the bench where it then worked phenomenally. Reinstalled it and it's functioning perfect. Fingers are crossed for sure.... But in the back of my mind it's a just ticking time bomb that I'm just waiting for it to say, "sorry that's all folks!" Cheers and good luck with your DW motor issue.
@@Steveos-Gameroom the guy I purchased mine from noted that the opto interrupter, the the small globe spins on, rubs on the inner shaft causing them to bind up and that us what causes the stop and gear spinning on shaft. Mine was stuck and wouldn't turn. As soon as he got the interrupter shaft off, it freed up. Now he's been sanding the inner shaft to a smaller diameter, if that's possible. I'll find out this weekend how it plays out. I'll let you know what I learn
Those translucent rings are cool dude
Thanks. I’ll be using them exclusively until something even cooler gets invented. Cheers!
Definitely wishful thinking... Pulled mine down last weekend with locked DW motor and it's either money or engineering....
