Default RE: Thumbs Up for Hobbyking Support


ORIGINAL: scale only 4 me

Only 5 orders,,
10-20 day shipping times

Everything works, except the motors and ESCs I dunked on my float plane,, curse you HK for selling me electronics that weren't 100%waterproof [:@] O wait,, no one sells that,, never mind
Let me let you in on a little secret. Spray the motors with WD-40 and dunk the ESC in alchohol and then set it in the sun for a day. I have dumped my Dynam PBY several times and it still works fine. There is nothing in a brushless motor that is is permanently affected by water since there are no commutators in it. Just get the water out of the bearings with WD-40 and they are just fine. You can put a drop of 3 in 1 or sewing machine oil on the bearings if you wish.

P.S. HK still stinks.
