Post Dewalt DC988 Smoking/Sparking

I have a Dewalt DC988 drill that throws sparks and occasionally smoke out of the vents on the back. Good burning smell too.
Brushes looked ok, but I replaced them anyway (only $4/brush).
It still does the same thing.
Wondering whether I should try replacing the motor or what?
Motor costs about $40 on ereplacement.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Chris
