The effect of running the Tetrix motor under water is to wear in the brushes for more surface contact while keeping the motor cool over a 12-24 hour period. This is a technique used by RC folks and has many references out on the web. The downside is a possibility that the lubricant is flushed out of the bearings and the exposed steel will start to rust. Sealed motors may not benefit the same way the Tetrix motor does. CIM and window motors for instance may not get the cooling where it is needed. FP motors may be harmed due to the circuit breaker attached to the brush assembly.

Use with caution, your mileage may vary.
