Hi guys, need some feedback on the brushes that are used in parma death stars. I thought I would speed up the break in process and dunk the motor into some distilled water and run at about 4V. Set it going, turned my back to do some other jobs in the shed. Turned back one minute, perhaps 90 seconds later at the very most and the water was black. Stopped the motor and removed it to have a look. Both brushes had worn away to nothing and the springs were resting on the brush hoods!!
Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a weird one off or is this a well known thing with Parma brush gear? Wont be breaking in my Parma in water again :o
cheers
