There's enough wire length on the motor to my Mini-B that allows the motor to reach a small bucket I can fill with AF without having to take the ESC out. Just need to put the chassis on a stand, but it'll work. I figure i can us the TX, trim the throttle up a bit (low RPM) and run it for awhile. That being said, I would like to see that video as between my son and I, we have several old PC power supplies to choose from and that'd help on future applications.For $60 you can get an Adjustable DC Power Supply from Amazon. Thats the one I have. Buy some allagator clips and run the motor on 3v for about 20-30 minutes while submerged.
If you have an old computer power supply laying around it can cheaply and easily be converted to be a benchtop power supply that has 12v, 5v, and 3.3v outputs. You can use the 3.3v output on that to likewise run the brushed motor. I have a youtube video I can link you on how to do the conversion if you're interested.
And @Sebkauff ,a thousand apologies for hijacking your thread! I'd never heard of this, so had a number of questions. Hope you don't mind!
