Hey guys, we only have 4 moving parts on these little quads, what do we lubricate the motors with, and how often do you recon? I've never seen anything on lubes yet for quads...

I use Tri-Flow oil that I have for my helis and oil the bearings around every 20-30 flights. I treat the quad motors the same as I would a heli motor

Hmmm:) i wonder why i have had motor failures?? LOL

Lol, nice one Graham....

Thanks Dan, better get these oiled then eh Graham.... Haha

I pull the bells of mine every now and then and clean out the bearings with brake cleaner.
Then I lube them with corrosionx.
Always quieter afterwards.

Handy tips Stambo, thanks. I'll look up that corrosion x

Curious.....next time you do this, Stambo, would you mind making a video and sharing it with us? Sort of a "Preventative Maintenance DIY" kinda thing.
