Hi,
I have purchased several kits on e-bay recently and in two of them the
motors were jammed. In both cases the seller replaced them (they were
supposed to be new kits). Can you turn the motor spindle by hand? If not, it
is jammed and that is the problem. Also, if you have another motor it would
be worth trying that. Good luck!

| I tried it with a motor that worked using a battery box, but I will check that again to be sure. I just had another idea, I will use the light elemement to see if there is any power coming from the C2. I may have to pursue some kind of compensation (...)
