Thinking you will run it for a few years with no problems. I'm sure if your running it full RPM at 6S all the time it may wear quicker than not but I would presume the bearings will go before anything else due to RPM's. I haven't heard of anyone wearing one out yet inless they have destroyed it someother way.

Yep keep an eye on the bearings and replace them as needed and it should last as long as you want the only friction points in bl motors are the bearings.

O and keep it clean.

nice1 so if i do buy a second hand motor... maybe a rebuild with new bearings?

Yea just get good bearings these motors are not the place to try to save a few bucks with 99 cent bearings. The manufactur should offer replacements if you call.

are you considering changing out the bearings~?

Supposed to be 5x16x5mm. And don't spray the bearings with anything because they're already sealed and it would only attract more dirt.
