My new zelos 36 twin!

Yes sir! Same motor and the Miss GEICO 29 and Blackjack 29. It has proven to be a work horse, as long as the front bearing is maintained; oiled as regularly as the flex cables are greased.

I normally regrease the flex after every 1-2 battery packs. At least after every time I run the boat. The bearings really require that much maintenance?

[Rafael_Lopez]

When talking about 2000kv motors on 6s, yes. For our lower KV motors in the Impulse, Voracity and Zelos 48, I'd say you should maintain them after/before every outing. I pull my flex shaft/s after I'm done using my boat for the day, even if I'll be back out tomorrow. Now I'm forced to grease the shaft when I reinstall it and at the same time I can put a drop of oil or two on the front motor bearing.

Good advice. I'll be sure to do mine.

[arrover]

Ok. Thanks for the advice. I guess it's not really that bad since the motors don't need to be removed. Is there any particular oil/oiler setup that has worked well for you?

[Beaux]

sounds like a good motor , thanks Rafael.

I am quite Jealous! Zelos seems to be the big boy the block!

I use one of these filled with some 3 in 1 multi purpose oil works good

Thanks for the recommendation MXkid!

Sure thing! I had that for my r/c trucks and when I got into boats realized it worked perfect for motor bearings

Looks like expected due date has been pushed back to "late" March. It was "mid" March. Bummer...
More time to prep for its arrival.

Cool boat. Rafael Lopez is the man if you have any questions.
