Motor stuck

[odysseus]

Hey everyone

I have had this ridiculously annoying problem with my motor for my M4. I took the motor out to disassemble my gun for basic maintenance, and it worked fine since. Then when the time came to take it down again, it wont shoot and motor wont budge. It wants to spin but it just wont. Now, i cant pull the motor out! Ive been trying to surgeon it out for hours without using brute force, and still cant find the source of the problem! Any ideas?

Just to be clear, you've removed the baseplate and washer (if applicable), removed the wires, and are trying to slide the motor directly out the bottom of the grip, right? I don't want to sound patronzing, but I've seen some players doing some stupid shit to take down their guns.

If that's how you're going about doing it, there shouldn't be anything stopping the motor from dropping down. It's beveled so that nothing in the gearbox, except maybe the bottom edge of the box itself, should stop it from just coming down and out. So if you've got something jammed in there, you might be hard pressed to get it out by any means. You'd need to get the motor out to get to it, and you can't do that because the motor is stuck. So try jostling the gun some to free up whatever might be jamming the motor in place. You might be able to shake it loose. If that doesn't work, you might have to try some force and hope that whatever gives is cheap.

Thanks kneif. Ive decided to be patient on this one. It was a wire blocking the motor head from coming out, so i had to push the black connector back so i could give it some slack and free the motor. It runs fine now. I did remove the baseplate and washer, but it was a wire that was causing all the hassle. My only decent AEG is slowly dying, so i am going to invest in a new one soon. thanks for the help.
