I was hoping for a better selection of puns, but maybe this will spark some more. In the article that I derived the benefit to bl motors from, it explained that in a brushless motor the break-in period was shortened by half and the main purpose of the cooling effect of the water was for bearing benefit. it would allow the bearings in the motor, which from what this article explained, were for the most part encased in either kevlar or nickel to seat properly without creating hotspots in the casings and main bearings. Now, I caught alot of flak as I say for merely bringing up the thought of dropping an electric motor into water in the first place and all my real intentions were was to prove to wheel that I was not suffering from flashback or an other currently formed halucinations, but I did investigate further and really from what I can tell, it is recommended that you should low-volt break-in a brushless the same as a brushed. whether you use water or oil or any other method. I found a website that sells 12 brands and types of "break-in" machine designed specifically for this purpose and I noticed all included bl in their applications, so make of it what you will but I don't think it could hurt. I will still be investigating this "coversation piece over coffee" and do some experimenting on my own, the last thing I want to do is pass along advice or information that I know is bad or stupid, but I always recommend doing your own investigations on any information you get here or anywhere else before you implement it. I don't endorse the water theory, wheel just thought I made it up.
