In this video I go over how what every single Rc car owner who has a brushed motor should be doing to help improve their Rc car and truck and prolong the health of their motor. I also put it back together and show how to have a proper gear mesh. Only to be done on a brushed motor. This is an upgrade because it definitely improves performance!

this water running in was used already in the 1970's. every racingmotor was run in in water. less sparking in collector, brushes will be smooth. after treatment it will handle more power...

Another good way would be putting your esc onto your steering channel and use the steering trim to hold the throttle forward or reverse for you at a steady speed
@rcbeginnings6561 Жыл бұрын
Good idea too. Didn’t think about switching the esc channel.

How does this improve the motor in any way? Is there proof to back this up?
@rcbeginnings6561 2 жыл бұрын
Most people don’t know how or when to do maintenance on their rc motor. By doing this it would definitely improve it over a much dirtier and non lubed up motor. My proof is all the dirt in the water that was removed from motor. There are other videos doing the same thing that took a squeaky motor and after this was perfect again. Thanks for watching!
