13 Reasons Why RC Motors And ESC’s Burn Up<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nCan you repair a brushless motor?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you are a little on the frugal with-a-lot-of-time side, equipping yourself with in-depth DIY repair knowledge might prove to be the best move you can make. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first step is to clean the motor. You will need soap and maybe some scotch-brite. Scrub until the motor is free from rust and all other stains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step two is where the fun begins. Disassembly. Using a flat-tipped tool to wedge between the casing and the drive gear is the easiest way to begin the process of stripping these motors down. After this, it is just a case of undoing a few tabs and pulling the mechanism apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next up is some more cleaning but on the inside. Expect this to be a slightly slimmer affair. This is because of the molten gooey glop of copper salts that are splattered all over the inside of the motor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use paper towels to wipe off the mess. Latex gloves might be needed for this task because copper salts (and sometimes beryllium salts) are somewhat toxic to the human system. Use a cleaning aid to wipe off the commutator armature as well as the shaft assembly. Again, scrub until all rust is gone. The bearings must be super smooth and shiny when you\u2019re done with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fourth step is to carry out some basic repairs and fixes. Replacement cables can be sourced almost anywhere, but if you are completely stuck, you can use some old ribbon cabling or something similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you have made the necessary repairs, it\u2019s time to seal up the motor again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
