    Oiling motors

    Is the oiling point just where the drive exits the can (front and back)? Any difference maintaining brushless vs. brushed motors?

    I didn't think you had to maintain bl motors. most are sealed up tight and since nothing touches, ain't no need for oil... others will hopefully correct me if I is wrong, so I can learn too.

      thought the same thing except for oiling the bearings, but some bearings are sealed or double sealed

        I have used ONE drop of oil front and back bearings every weekend for years, no problems. Bearings are NOT sealed, they are SHEILDED so will take oil.
