Where do the motor leads go? I'm geussing the two empty tabs with no solder already on them but which one is positive and which one is negative?

Isn't there a little "+" sigh somewhere on that blue part right by the armature hole? Can't really tell from your pic...

You can also solder the wires on the tabs with solder already on them (the ones with the brushed on). I hear it's less resistance.

dreamer,
Why is your chameleon blue, I thought they were supposed to be green?

Ahhh, just saw the colours of your brush springs. If you didn't change them, the side that has the red springs is + and the green springs are -. I'm fairly sure that's right, but better wait for more confirmations.

thanx just got finished with solding, after 3 long hours...I'm not very good at it..lol, I hate soldering, and I burned some of the platsic on the endbell plus burned my hands about 7 times, stupid thing won't stay on...ahhhhhhhhhhh...lol, but it works :), but now its dark, o well, tomorow. The endbell is blue, the can is silver and just the label has green on it, weird.
