Thanks for this easy to follow tutorial. We don't have access to a hobby store and my son and I were able to get his truck going again. I'm the only mum in town that knows how to set gear now!
first of gear mesh is to loose, second to put motor back on you put the top screw for the motor in (loosely) and the the bottom one (loosely) once you have your gear mesh right then tighten top then make sure gear mesh is right then tighten the bottom
I believe you used contact cleaner from CRC. It's a great product and used throughout the electrical industry for cleaning components such as contacts on relays and such. It sure did an excellent job cleaning your motor. It's crazy how much dirt came out of that motor. Great video. Your using the best stuff to clean with IMHO and it's safe on plastic.
Great video!! Watched a few before I got to yours. Others usually lose me when they use WD40 as a lubricant. I'll be pulling my motor tonight on my TRX4. Thanks
Nice tutorial! Most seem to use a glass of water to run their motors in. I have picked up a can of Duratrax Power Shot to clean my motors. The only difference for me, is to not use 3 in 1 oil. If the motor gets hot, it can break down, and you will definitely know because you will be able to smell the oil when it gets hot. I picked up a bottle of Parma bushing oil. The shaft of the motor runs on bushings, so I'm guessing it would be a better choice to lubricate the motor.
@@Ris-v4w I haven't ran my trucks in a while, so I have yet to use the Power Shot spray and bushing oil on my motors. But a friend of mine was concerned about the way his motor was running one time. I didn't have the cleaning spray with me, but I had the bushing oil in the box I carry with tools and batteries. The bushings on his motor looked dirty, like a fine layer of dirt. We put some drops of it around the motor shaft, and it improved the performance of his motor quite a bit.
That was pretty cool finally some one uses 3and1 oil like I do.I have watched hundreds of video and nobody uses it.Wonderful job 👍 look great.Stay Safe Stay Healthy
Used brake and clutch cleaner aswell as the same 3 in 1 oil. seems to have worked very well. I noticed that my senton was being a bit slow but it seems like new now. Thanks
I'd say don't put off the demineralized water yet, it will not clear out the lube from the motor bushings/bearings like the spray does, in case this is what you are looking for
Very interesting and useful video. I have one question. how much is the motor's shaft diameter and the pinion gear aperture diameter, which is mounted on the shaft by grab screw?
Wish I knew this earlier this happened on my Traxxas stamped and I got a new motor thinking that the old one she shot then I realizes it was dirty found this out after installing the new one
The 1st part you can just fill a cup with water and put your brushed motor in it and just give it a little throttle and keep doing that until the battery is completely dead and you'll see that the cup will be completely black the 1st part isn't needed just do the water method a lot more easier and it cleans it way better
Finally bro I've been just waiting for you to upload I video love all your videos please upload to your channel more often btw nice video can't wait to see a running video
U should've put the top screw in first just snug then the bottom screw in cuz it isn't like the top where u can't move it it's not just a hole u can move the motor still n once u have it where u want it continue to tighten it down
Any chance of a clip to show how to fix steering. Front wheels aren't turning a lot resulting in a wide turning radius and also mega wobbling when we reverse.
Zach Lol that’s funny, man this was 10 months ago n before I ever uploaded any videos, back then I was just learning n watched a bunch of how to videos
@@unboxingnewthings7766 Does your motor still work? If so, just buy some motor cleaner and clean it as you would. If it broke or it is running at extremely decreased efficiency, you'll need to buy a new motor, but luckily they're really easy to install
@@Vato_Loco_rc it depends on what terrain and in which conditions you're running it in. If it's just some grass and tarmac, then it's fine for 20+runs. But after a lot of water and mud you'd have to clean it after that run.

Thanks for the tips... how often would you recommend that you do this level of cleaning?
much better than the water treatment I have seen!!! thank you, did know you can do this, awesome

Great job with the video! Excellent advice and detail
Its looooosssseee
Really informative vid. Thank you sir.
Good video 👍🏼How many runs you do this?
Does having the ferrite rings on the motor leads help?? Thanks in advance.
Awesome video man - very helpful! Thanks!
Hey, do you know anything on the DHK hunter 1/10, mine has recently lost lots of performance, good video btw, keep up the good work
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback! And unfortunately, I don't know a whole lot, if anything, about the DHK Hunter. Sorry!
Wish I knew this earlier this happened on my Traxxas stamped and I got a new motor thinking that the old one she shot then I realizes it was dirty found this out after installing the new one
Nope thought the same thing turns out mine was shot! Good thing u got a new one

Calvin Ramin yeah I do the same thing and then I use WD-40 to lubricate everything
@@moistavocado2350 WD 40 IS NOT LUBRICANT DO NOT USE ITS MEANT TO BREAK UP DIRT AND RUST
You did a great job.
The first time I raced I was told you had to put the oil down on that fan... you can imagine how that went
llol
Finally bro I've been just waiting for you to upload I video love all your videos please upload to your channel more often btw nice video can't wait to see a running video

Do you live in Canada possibly?? Loved the video btw, keep it up
Can I use a brake cleaner or Carb cleaner? Or even rubbing alcohol??
I'm planning on using MAF Cleaner
how often do you need to clean it
Very helpful!!
thx for doing this
Wd40 would that do
Any chance of a clip to show how to fix steering. Front wheels aren't turning a lot resulting in a wide turning radius and also mega wobbling when we reverse.
Your gear mesh is to loose
Calvin Ramin . you are right
I was thinking same thing, u need to clean those drive shafts during the close up they are caked with dirt coming off transmission
Was going to say the same thing!
@@STEVOD313 bro I see you everywhere lol

We can't use wd40 instead of moter cleaner plzz replay
no, itll destroy the motor never use WD40
@@klondike3112 but I all ready used wd40 now what to do

@@klondike3112 yes my moter still works bt in india goa we don't get moter my friend bought the car for me from Dubai
Good as you don't use any lock tight
will this work on burnt out motor
Can i just use a glass of water?
do you have any rc's?
I have an ECX Torment, Axial SCX10 Trail Honcho, and a RadioShack Monster Patrol
RC Experience is it bad to drive my ecx torment when the Gers in the motor are chepd off
@@johfyf5055 yes. very bad.
after every run or two ?..
I'd recommend every 15-20 runs
@@snjert8406 Are you sure that not every 2 or 3 runs or ia 15-20 runs ok to?

@@snjert8406 Ahh ok that makes sense. Thx for the info. Btw can you just hose down a titan motor outside and than dry it well afterwards?
will wd40 work the same as the motor cleaner?
Andre Membrido not the same but it will do
NO
3in1 oil??? Doesn’t that have a wax base? 3in1 oil is hell on a sewing machine and motor.
ah rc specific and way to loose but good job
How about a shot of WD 40 to finnish?
Can i use wd40
do not use WD 40
