what are your thoughts on graphite powder for lubrication on any parts for RC helicopter?
Of all the quality motors I have taken apart. They ALL have sealed bearings with magnetic shields. IE not requiring lubrication.
Use a Wire Brush
and that green loctite will go behind the bearing and go through the rear shield of the bearing when you put it on the outside like that… loctite near bearings is a no no for me
heating metal then quickly cooling it makes it brittle no?
Hi TheDaveyht3,
You might put the motor partially in a plastic bag before you try to take off the snap ring. If the snap ring flies, it will be in the bag if you want to use it again. Thanks for the great video.

those allen wrenchs suck
they soften up at times and cause the bolt head to strip
it's better to invest in RC hardened steel allen hex keys
Nice post! That is classic 3-phase motor maintenance just like they teach it in the Navy (from my time back in the day lol).
lol anyone notice the 4 tubes of locktite on that table? I take it he had a few screws take a hike mid flight at some point. Paranoia! lol
Realize that you're just taking the finish off the threads where they rub to tighten. Not likely a concern at all, you wouldn't even see it if it didn't have the weak black finish in the first place. Just about any simple cosmetic finish is going to wear off threads very quickly.
