that i did not know, i usually clean them off with motor cleaner, i'll try and not get them with the motor cleaner and see what that does. I usually take my motors apart after every race and clean them with motor cleaner, then put them back together. I'll cut the come after every two weeks of racing usually (so usually i'll rebuild once the motor has about six runs on it), but i use a different motor for practice then i do for racing.
