[QUOTE="Spark 317, post: 115075, member: 894"] Looks like rust, or bug guts. I'm guessing whatever swarm of bugs you fly into may leave a little "acidic" bug juice on the motors that may cause corrosion over time? I would take a Q-tip with a wee bit of rubbing alcohol on it and lightly massage the motor and see if it cleans up. Try not to get alcohol into the motor, maybe hold the Spark upside down while cleaning it. The alcohol will eventually evaporate so if you do get some in accidentally, make sure it's dry before powering up the Spark. If the Q- tip doesn't work, try something a little more abrasive such as a tooth brush. Good luck. :) [/QUOTE]
