Can any of the RC servo motors work oil filled like brushless DC motors? Some them call themselves "Coreless".
Thanks, Jon

if the circuitry is protected from floating metal parts, and the oil doesn't remove the varnish from the coil wires, should work fine, if slower.
Do RC servos have contacts or are they brushless?? This seems to determine it electic motors can handle operatin emersed in oil.
most use dc motors that are geared afaik, that's with contacts.
At our last club meeting, one of the members brought a robot submarine. He fills his motors with baby oil, and claims they run great, with only about a
10% RPM reduction. He did warn against using silicon-based oils however, that it would insulate the brushes.Jeff.
