I had an issue from my simpeds, it lost the right side. So I took it apart and cleaned it and added wires to the Hall effects switch so I can now connect it to the 0836 controller.


Now since I have it apart I was looking at the two magnets and the balls that ride on them. The balls have worn a grove into the magnets. This got me thinking should the balls be lubed with anything? Would the lube interfere with the magnets function?
Has anyone done anything with this.

I believe you refer to the 2 small ballbearings left and right on the rudder bar? They don't roll on magnets,it's just a metal sheet. It's normal wear,I think it should be possible to just replace them.
Lube certainly will not do any harm.

OK thanks

I will spray a little white grease on them just to help.
