Mintor 140 Bearings

[rcaerobob at cox.net]

Any Amsoil distributor...I don't remember the one I used.  I think Tom Collins at BuyRC.com is an Amsoil distributor, but I may be mistaken.
  The stuff I got was in a spray can, looks a lot like a WD 40 can, but it is Amsoil "Metal Protectant Spray"...I think MP1 is the p/n.
