I conduct monthly lubrication of all my speed controls.  Since I use 
lithium polymer batteries exclusively, I use marine grade lithium 
grease applied with an aerosol can.  Regular lubrication significantly 
reduces bearing wear and virtually eliminates the requirement to change 
the bearings in a speed control.  In fact, I have never changed the 
bearings in any of my speed controls.
