I have cleaned up this truck and everything was working great until I greased the worm gear (just got the right grease yesterday). Now the truck won't run unless it is twisted around, it will not run just by setting it on the track. I have tried adjusting the contact shoes and even replaced them from a truck that is working. It did not change the situation. Please see video. Any suggestions?

Upload your video to Youtube and then post a link to it here. I don't understand what you mean by twisted it around around. Sounds like the motor is not lined up with the worm gear correctly.

Really late to the party, but I’m guessing when you were cleaning the truck the gear for the axle cracked. All it takes is the smallest hairline crack and it causes the motor to lock up.
I just posted a video that shows how to replace the worm gear and spur gear-

If your US1 Trucks are making a clicking noise or locking up, they probably have a cracked gear! This video will show you how to replace both gears and get trucking again! Replacement Gears- https://tycous1trucking.com/replacement-repair-parts#gears Super Lube- https://amzn.to/3SbCH5d Liquid...
