What type of maintenance is everyone doing on their brushless motors? I have pulled mine apart a few times and oiled the bearings but that's the only thing I can think of doing. Is there any kind of cleaning to the inside of the motor or to the sensor or anything?

simple green and canned air to the stator,

O'Donnell O lube for the bearings, (its a dry silicone oil)

Is this still what veryone is doing? I have not opened the motor. Just use small brush and compressed air around bearings and add a drop of oil about once a month. Should I be doing more?

every once in a while i crack a motor open and check for dirt/debris on the inside and take a tooth brush and clean it all out and spray down with electric motor cleaner and re oil bearings..
