Threading Motor Arms
ORIGINAL: scottslc
Here's a tip for replacing the cf tubes: Take a piece of fishing line and thread it through the new tube. Next tie a slip knot around the motor wire ends and pull them back through the tube with the fishing line rather than twisting them and trying to push them through. Makes replacement a snap.
Scott mentioned a useful method for threading the motor wires through the motor arms. In case there is no line or string available, you can also use baby powder. Just dump a very small amount in your palm and run both wires through it. Make sure that the wires stay side by side and not twisted when feeding them through the motor arm. Very slowly, carefully feed the wires a small bit at a time so they don't bunch up.
