I'm thinking about going to Radio Shack and buying a 5k pot and do some tests. Though the replacement pot from what I have found is only $30 and considering it looks like the original one is probably still in there it is probably worth it just to replace it.

My question is if the pot is good should I just get a rebuilt speed controller is there a better rebuilt one to get that will work out there? I really know nothing about speed controllers except for what I have read.

Also I thought maybe the brushes in the motor were bad but they almost look brand new. I didn't see any burned wires inside on the pack or rotor.

I did notice the solenoid is a little hot after driving it for 10 min. Should they get hot? Wasn't smoking. Like a 2 second finger hot.
