@concretedog wait these motors operate in water without protection??

Or is it mineral oil? Lol

@f4grx yeah this was my great revelation with the guy who showed it me. Small cheap low voltage DC motors work fine in tap water. You just need to run them for a minute out of water after each session and also maybe blow moisture out of them.

@concretedog amazing!

@f4grx I mean you are probably taking life off the brushes etc but at £6.99 for 10 motors I am prepared to have their working life diminished a little!

@concretedog Sweet! Love underwater bots. But then The Abyss is one of my fave films, so...
