the only medthod ive ever used on brushed motors is the water method. submerge the motor in water and run on 3volts for 10 to 15 min then pull it out clean and dry it off then relube and gtg.
another newbie here with a newb question.....

how can you set it to run on 3 volts?

what do you relube it with?

I also heard of running it in oil, is that BS? Considering the source, I am thnking it could be

Use 2 AA / C / D cell batteries.
relube it with a good bearing oil. They do make some specificaly for eletric motor bearings . Ive used teflon oil for quite a while with good results.
Dont run it in oil. Just use normal water.
