Leimbach pump motor options?

[Espeefan]

Odd as it sounds, I saw at least one guy running a stock Tamiya silver can on his Stahl bucket dozer's pump. Same thing happened to his motor. Oil got inside it, and shorted it out. If it works good, and it looked like it did, from the videos he posted, it'd be a nice, cheap option. Sorry I really can't offer any help on finding a brushless motor. I always thought most brushless motors, driving pumps, had remote mounted motor plates and ran a belt drive to the pump, via sprockets?

I actually have a stock tamiya (metal back end) in the loader now but, I had to power it with an esc because the full 12 volts from the battery was way too fast.

ahhhhhhhhh gentlemen oil will not short out anything electric as it will not conduct electricity
if your motor shorted out it was something else but if your oil is full of metal shavings then it will short your motor out
may have soaked the brushes
we use oil in most big transformers to cool and protect the busses inside
and to stop any arcing inside
and water will not conduct electricity either , it is the impurity,s in the water that conducts electricity
