Robert thats the nice thing with these just go fly I've got over 150 flights on the 5320 and had about the same on the 5330. If it needs anything it has a 3 year warranty.

I'm flying a Axi 5330/18 for two years ( over 200 flights ) now and the only thing I did was clean the motor with compress air. Last year during my " regular " maintenance I found 2 magnets became loose. I glued it back in place and replaced the bearings because of the salt air on this island.
Beside that only charge and fly![Big Grin](https://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Hello Mr Atwood
Last year the motor started to make some strange noise. Saw through the opening that 2 magnets where not straight.
there is a c clip attached to the shaft which I removed and using a rubber hammer knocked the shaft from the rotor open
Inside you'll see 3 small bearing which I replaced 2 of them.
Now it's sitting on my new Integral ( slightly bit overweight though with just normal acces) but still overpowered![Big Grin](https://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

My 5330/FAI's have worked well. I did have one last year that I had to send back to Hobby Lobby because it had started to be very noisy. I thought either a magnet was getting loose or a bearing was going bad. Anyway, they replaced it. I probably have close to 100 flights on the replacement and things are doing well. It seems to be a very good motor and Hobby Lobby provided good customer service.
