I know, for example, that Novak says NOT to use "motor spray", etc. -- only to dust off the exterior, then use air to blow out dust/dirt from inside the can after removing the ends, etc. -- same for SP..?

I am running offroad, but the SP thread is here in 'onroad', so I'm posting this here -- in offroad, the dust/dirt issue is worse, and proper cleaning/care becomes more important. It seems like the opening behind the solder tabs on the motors might require more frequent cleaning for the SP motors than I'm used to on Novaks also...

Thanks in advance...
I use electronic switch cleaner and a compressor to clean out my motors when needed.
Relube bearings after assembly and its all good.
