@@michaelball1887 I have yet to realy see a brushless motor that looks well suited to the buggy. The furitek looks like a nice size but don’t like the pre wired setup and plugs they use. And the hobby wing motor looks just a little big for it.
Back in the day our thoughts were when run under water there were no small sparks to cause carbon/resistance and the brushes would bed in without sparks. The mild wear would expose the largest area without carbon to enable the largest contact area of the brushes,
Water = corrosion. Unless you're using distilled or reverse osmosis water, your water is exposing the metal parts to minerals which encourage metal corrosion.
Hello!! 🙃I have never done it, but I also think that it must help a lot, to clean, and especially to pair the carbons to the collector! 👍I will try, and take the time to do this like you!!! 😅Thank you for sharing!!!😉 And best regards from Valais, Switzerland!🤩🤪
@@sussexmicrorc Ok!!! That's what I'm going to do!!! I have a small WLToys 1/24th engine, a 130 unless I'm mistaken? And also a smaller one, for Mini-Z, from PN Racing (PNWC - 70 Turn). It's new. But can I run them with a 2S battery, or rather a 1s? Because I don't have enough knowledge on this subject... Thanks for answering me!! That's cool!!
@@DJpowitothat should be fine however I prefer the lower voltage/speed as it’s a little more gentle and allows more water to stay around the com and brushes to keep things cool. You can normally pick up a 2 cell (aa or aaa) holder for $2 of eBay or Amazon which makes hooking it up very easy in the future.
I like that AAA battery pack thing with a switch! Where can I find it? My googling hasn’t turned it up yet. I’ve struggled to find something to use for running in Mini-Z motors, but I like that one.
I hope knowledge like this will not get lost due to the rush to brushless motors etc.

Give it a try and let us know how you find it

@@sussexmicrorc Thank you for your reply!! I will do as you say!! Have a good day, I wish you!!😇😜

@@italianwaite I just pick them up from eBay. Try search for aaa battery holder
It definitely has costs to do but time is the real cost.
I switched over to a dry PTFE lubricant just a tiny tiny amount.
Hi @@justso1823 I have tried a number of dry lubs but still feel free from is the best personally.
