I inherited a custom motor, 45k RPM. dont know much about it other than that.

Where can I get drops or whatever I need to maintain it?

...or, what I am really asking is what are the best 5 brands of drops for my $$$.

I wanna shop around and can handle that...but, there are a million kinds of lubes and drops and I'm no expert.

Any help would be great.

Good job, sweed, but you're missing one KEY thing.

Voltage levels:
Silver brushes~4.8V, higher voltage like Li-Ion or Li-Poly (7.4V) is BAD for them. They do not perform very well on much higher than 4.8V.

Carbon brushes~Good up to 7.4V, but you wouldn't want your car running on any higher voltage.

Make sure to use comm. drops when you use carbon brushes at 7.4V. :wink:

Silver conducts electricity better than carbon...

Silver gives slightly more speed and torque, it's noticed in high speed motors. It wears faster than Carbon Brushes though..

Carbon Brushes wear slower than Silver Brushes, and contuct electricity better than the stock Brushes.

Performance:
Stock Brushes > Carbon Brushes > Silver Brushes

Wear:
Silver Brushes > Cabron Brushes

English is a funny language. If you say something over and over, it doesn't sound like a real word after a minute or two. Then you look back like "Oh, maybe it is?". Is Brushes a real word?
