Rust inside velineon motor

[benjiRC]

Found some rust in my velineon motor how would i clean this and how bad does it look?

I wouldn't worry about it so long as it keeps running, however it would always be a good idea to rebuild and spray a thin coat of WD-40 dry lube on all metal parts anytime you get respective metal parts wet. Motor cleaner wouldn't hurt to help remove the rust as well.

Alright sounds good. I have some silicone spray lubricant and garage door lubricant spray would either of those work after i clean it out?

Not sure if a lubricant will do any "cleaning", the lubricant would've been nice to use as a preventative to abate moisture which caused the rust in the first place.

I would consider this product here which I believe will help remove the rust, perhaps "most" of the rust, probably won't eliminate "all" of it:

After the rust is removed, then a silicone spray may help prevent new rust from forming after that
