Nice. Are they Emax motors? The wire looks more substantial than the wire on my RCX motors.

Hey Graham, don't apologies mate, those motors you gave me were ace, had some great fun with them, and the frame. ESC's and FC's still going strong too.. Lost count how many lipos I got through with those on... So they gave me some great times.. Thanks mate, and thanks to Dan...

Haven't had time to fit them today Dan, but they will get fitted tomorrow... Did you oil/grease them up before first flight?

Post by **danhampson** » Fri Apr 24, 2015 9:58 pm

yeah mate, cleaned them with brake and clutch cleaner and re-greased, and then clean and re-grease every second session, they get a lot of crap in them at the field.

Tony · Post by **Tony** » Fri Apr 24, 2015 10:47 pm

Every second trip out you do all that again....lol, mind you do have a lot of lipos.... Lol

Post by **danhampson** » Fri Apr 24, 2015 10:58 pm

yes, its about every 24-30 flights, don't forget i don't use landing gear either .

It doesn't take long tony, ive got a gallon of brake cleaner i pour some in a container and then pour some in the motors making sure its well flooded, let it evaporate and then oil. Takes 10-15 mins and keeps the motors silky smooth.

Tony · Post by **Tony** » Fri Apr 24, 2015 11:03 pm

Thanks Dan, I'll get some of that cleaner tomorrow.. Do you use silicon grease, that's what I used to use on heli bearings...

Post by **danhampson** » Fri Apr 24, 2015 11:09 pm

I use Tri-flow that i got for my heli's, its a PTFE (teflon) base lube.

Tony · Post by **Tony** » Sat Apr 25, 2015 1:44 pm

Thanks Dan, I'll order that too..
