hope this helps

So I dont use the water method?
is that <3 volts at constant speed for 25-30 minutes and when you say lube it , are you talking the end bushes?
I'm using the same gearing as the local fast guys, but their gearing can vary from 4.39 - 4.67 for similar results, as if their motors have different tourqe/ rpm ranges
