keep them clean, dust and water, usual stuff you would with a brushless, just not skimming.

Well, I would of thought the motor would be able to be dismantled, so if you think it is dirty, then pull it apart and clean, I would of though it would be safe for use wire motor cleaner. And you would oil an axle bearing, right? Then you must lightly oil the shaft bearings on your brushless to.

I have heard that from time to time it is good to replace the bearings, as you may do with a mod motor.
