My Shengmilo MX02S is starting to become more noisy uphill or at speed (>20km/h). Like a rubbing sound.
I've disassembled the motor to investigate and found the following.
- A red (rust?) spot.
- Many gray (plastic?) bits floating around the house near the gears
- Gearteeth with missing parts
- A mostly missing tooth
I think the grey stuff looks like it's the same color as the gears from the side, or something is getting smeared there.
My plan is to get new gears (with bearings), clean out the gunk, replace the gears.
Does this make sense?
Anybody see anything I should worry more about?
Could the clutch maybe be failing or be out of alignment?
