That is the only way to do it. You also never want to get the motor too hot as this will ruin the magnets.
.....the reason it probaly got faster is as the motor wore, the bushings got some wear,thus had more clearance and allowed the motor to run more free.....if i'm not mistaken, didn't RCCA have an article about mixing up some automotive rubbing compund and water i think and putting it on/in the bushing to get a little "wear" in them..........supposedy helped the motors performance........
