TM/G&P M4A1 Gearbox Problem...

I test shot my M4 today, and it was working great until after about 20 shots. After the 20 shots it stopped responding. I opened it up to realize the fuse had blown out.

I went to Canadian Tire and bought a replacement, when I tried it, it still did not work.

I opened it all up, tested it with just the motor, and the motor works....

I then went to mechbox tutorial thing, and opened up my gearbox.... Nothing seemed to be broken, although it was a pain in the ass to put back together...

So from what I can see, the motor is no longer able to turn the gears anymore?

It is a G&P m120 motor, using a 9.6v battery (tried a king arms and a mach1).

not too sure about the spring, but it was supposed to shoot at 380fps.

The original fuse was a 20Amp
I bought a pack of 25 and a pack of 20, both work with the motor, but the gears seem to refuse to move...


*could it be the motor dying?*

BTW the trigger locking pin fits ok, but at the end where it has like a grip/spikes coming out it's like impossible to put back in, any special technique?

Some pics, the gears are turn really smooth...
