It's the 'motor' cleaner the local shops sells, anyone flying there can't take motor cleaner in the aeroplane so you buy it when you get there.

it is a chemical cleaner that leaves no residue (thats what motor cleaner is), you use it to flush bearings, driveshafts, shocks, all sorts...

Does it make licorice taste better then

It's very effective at cleaning bearings, but other than that I wouldn't have thought there was much use for it on brushless motors would there?

But brushless don't get dirty as in burnt carbon from the brushes that stuck to everything, that's why I was confused as just dust would brush or blow off without the need for the cleaner wouldn't it?

it is the bearings that need flushing. But brake cleaner is also a lazy way of cleaning the plastics too lol

You have to clean the US-style tyres (prolines were specced) where they'll be glued so they'll stick properly. Brake cleaner on a paper towell is the way to go.
