WTF???
I thought oiling would reduce noise and friction.
They're coreless brushed motors and I used ball bearing oil from the bike.
While the motors were dirty with dust, gravel and hairs entangled around the rotor they flew perfect... now that they're clean it's worse than before.
Don't understand... maybe I used too much oil and it's causing too much viscosity drag in the tight space between the rotor and the casing.
Anyone had something similar happening in toys with electric motors?
Should I wait? Should I use it to wear off the effect? Should I do something?

Anyone know how to use a catalogue?

>>1131436Thanks for digging that up anon, but considering that no shared experience in that entire thread borders anywhere near the required level of engine inner workings detail, it would have been much better if you had just told me to go sodomized myself rather than having sent me chasing leprechauns.Thanks for the entertaining read though... pointless, but entertaining.

I get the feeling no matter where you ask, you're going to be a stroppy cunt about the answers you get. Good luck with that faggot..

i might possibly be persuing a diy quad
should i base it on a arduino nano or teensy?

Adaptability wise... Arduino (any day of the week)

You fucked up. Oil got on the commutators and brushes and is causing a restive build-up. It's also possible that if you didn't clean the motors first all the oil did was just seep your dust and hair and crap more into the motors than they already were.
Also, fwiw, most motors use sealed or shielded bearings which are hard as fuck to re-oil so slopping you bike's dinosaur squeezings on them isn't going to actually get to the relevant parts. ALSO, think about the rotational speed of your bike parts that take oil (maybe 60-200rpm, tops) compared to the rotational speed of your motors (5000-15000 RPM). You'd need some SUPER thin oil to actually do what you want, possibly even just PTFE dust.

do people not know how to sage? Op got his answer: check the bleeding catalog before making a worthless thread.
