The problem with the older dual motor 44 tonners was their bearings needed periodic lubricating, or they would seize up. Bearings in most hobby engines are made from oil impregnated brass (?) that is much more forgiving. I have a pair of the original models, and had only operated them a little bit on my modules. One day I noticed smoke coming from one, so I took it apart and lubed it, it worked fine after that. <br /> <br />So I assume any models that were used a lot more than mine were would need to be oiled regularly. <br /> <br />Bob Boudreau
