yea i think its the stuff on the top. note that it says 'safe for plastic' thats important. if you can get it as just a liquid instead of spray, it would be even better, as you only really need to soak the motor in it to get it totally lubed up. plus the spray can seems to be very cold, and makes frost on the thing you're spraying on.

im sure it would be a good item for the store if you can get it in smaller quantities. eh tiny??

I dont think we need to mess with our motors unless they are totally about to die. There's no way I'm gonna lube up my motor. Dont you think there's already some type of lube/mechanism in there that is made for minimizing friction?

I would be very curious to see how well this works. I'm all for screwing stuff up in the name of progress :-) Post your results when you get the stuff. Thanks for the info.

see the thing about the motors for bitcharg is that they're not supposed to be "high performance". they are very simple, as well as cheaply made so the commutator and such is very likely dirty even when it comes from the factory. im sure you could "break in" the motors by putting 3v on it, as ive heard someone do, or you could use something like this that'll clean off corrosion and stuff to make the motor preform better.
