Dear Richard,

Assuming that you are using your motor correctly, and keep it fairly clean the motor itself should last a lifetime.  The gearbox needs to be serviced after around 300 flights, and eventually the gears may need to be replaced.  We have a full service department and can have motors turned around in about 5 days.  There is a flat rate of $15 for labor and gearbox gears would cost $15, if they needed to be replaced.

  Hi Guys,

  How many flights can I expect out of these motors and gear-boxes at about 7-8 mins./flight?  3200s 10s1ps, 67 amps max.(working on reducing amperage) assuming normal operation in pattern flight.  What do you do to rebuild them?  What does it cost?   What is turn-around time? I've got about 50 flts. on one and it's working fine--but I'd like to know when to sorta expect something to shoot craps--like if we get 20 hours, then I'll know that after 150 flts or so that maybe changing out the motor b4 the Nats might be wise.

  Thanks,

  Richard
