Default Brushless Maintenance / reconditioning

So I'm fairly new to brushless setups. I just got a used Reedy 3300kv setup off "the bay." I can't see any way to get the motor apart (no through, bolts or anything). I'm the kind of guy who likes to take used stuff apart and inspect/rebuild it before I use it. Should I just shoot some motor spray through it, oil the bearings, and call it good? Any other things I should be looking at?

Yea to the motor spray. Thats what the AE Tech guy said. It doesnt come apart. He suggested motor cleaner, compressed air and relube the bearings. Its a decent set up. Nothing crazy fast, but fun.
It beats brushed hands down!
