I think the big question there is this: is the battery going to try to shut its self off if it doesn't get some sort of magical handshake from the controller, or will it happily power whatever until the voltage gets too low or it overheats. As long as the battery is dumb enough, replacing the motor controller with a generic one should be possible. I'm not sure what you would need to do in order to wire up the trigger and fwd/reverse switches to a drone motor controller though, but it would probably be fine if it only spun in one direction and the speed control was all or nothing.

If it's an entirely new formula... wouldn't that make it WD-41?

My wife sat in a class taught by a fella who used to work as a marketing exec at WD-40. He confessed to the class that they couldn't figure out a way to boost sales because the market was saturated with their products, so they floated a bunch of ideas, one of which was to put an expiration date on the can, I isht you not. What they actually ended up doing, and he didn't say this, but it was that they kept the can the same size and put, you guessed it, less in the can! I noticed this because a can of WD-40 used to last you forever. Now, you go through it like toilet paper. I one upped them and buy it by the gallon now and put it in the spray bottle to row my own boat so to speak. I've been pulling on that gallon for going on 3 years now and it's still 2/3 full. I would've gone through a dozen of the jumbo cans in the meantime. Something good they ended up doing though was putting those straws on the top that don't fall off and they offered a bunch of other stuff under the same brand like lithium grease and what not. I thought those were fair upgrades to the brand. I use those tops on a bunch of other stuff. Annoyed to hear that they're giving you a hard time, but it's not surprising given the horrible things they were discussing and even ended up doing. Marketing people are pure evil, and if you let them run your company, they'll likely run it right into the ground. Their whole existence is based off propping up dying or dusty old brands in saturated markets rather than innovate and/or just accept the reality that you're gonna have steady revenues from here on out. I hate them. Also, screw the government, and especially that ashat Turdeau.

Ok.... so how hard would it be to refurb the thing with a brushed motor of similar stature and gusto that had a far higher life span? Making adapting gears/belts/pulleys might be the sticking points, but correct me if im wrong, the metal spinny bits above the brain box/power system still work they just need a prime mover?

I’ve had mine for two years and did many things I shouldn’t have with it.. It’s been soaked in oil, water and has cut 1” 4 wire hydraulic hose. That was until I bought a 5 inch grinder

Could you use a generic brushless esc?

LPS does make a WD-like substance (LPS-1?); it's all that's allowed at work. Pictured here is the contact cleaner, which we also use.

I forgot I unsibbed, your vids just show up in my home page.

Question. Could we see a frankentool project? Board from this, brushless motor from that, glass fiber resin casment from under the healing bench…. A pinch of majik pixys??

Water displacement? Hows that gonna work when I spit on it??

big power transistor popped (black rectangular thingu), you can see the cracked corner of the package, but maybe some other things also popped too

If they change the formula of motor mortician there might be an earth shattering scream from south of the river in oilberta.

Not protecting the circuit board in a tool that will likely get wat at some point and will definetly be exposed to metal dust... That's the problem with Milwaukee. Nice tools, till you use them hard and the electronics die. On one jobsite we were going through a super sawzall every week or two, and angle drills once a month. There were other tools that took the abuse just fine.

And that's why I refuse to buy brushless tools!❤

There are relatively cheap brushless motor controllers available for things like the RC market.

WD-40.5 The motor drivers basically take DC power and convert it to a 3-phase power supply (with adjustable frequency and amplitude).

I had similar thing happen to a Mavic Pro, green death after sea swim, however after washing it and changing one resistor it still choochin. I just don't fly it in urban areas, dropped in random resistor too.

So do you have to use your WD-40 'In Mexico' if you film it?

I'd like those parts to tinker with. I'll trade you some hairspray 😁

You cannot make this stuff up. I was working security overnight at a scrap metal place that processed scrap metal that they then sold to other recyclers for further processing or to forges for smelting. They would get these big 4 foot by 4 foot by 4 foot totes of metal turnings that would be coated in oil left over from the other companies manufacturing process. Well one night these turnings, which are still smoking hot, managed to auto ignite the oil. The fire department showed up, put the fire out, and the fire investigator said the cause of the fire was water. I heard that and kinda shook my head while quietly laughing at the whole thing. Because if water was the source of the fire, why would dumping water on it be able to put it out. Keep in mind fire needs three things to burn It needs fuel, heat, and oxygen. The oil was the fuel, the heat came from the metal still being hot, and the oxygen, well need I say more. So what the water was doing was cooling the metal to the point that the metal was no longer hot enough to keep the oil from combusting.

My dad used WD-40 for spicing up his bait fishing. I've used PB blaster for years now.

Kind of surprised you didn't use the DeWalt to open up the Milwaukee.

They came for the WD and I said nothing. They came for the Hairspray and I said nothing. Then they came for the Whippets and I said, "Okay, hold it right there, you animals - this is BEYOND the pale!!!"
