Is there anything that should be done as far maintenance? I know about checking the props and the body for hairline cracks etc but what about the motors?

Thanks in advance.
 
You should spin the motors with your fingers once in a while to be sure there isn't any more friction than you'd expect. There was an excellent post earlier last week on this but I can't find it. But in it, it was suggested inspecting the motors inside with a magnifying glass for discoloration which is a clue for over-heating. Also feeling them with your fingers after flight (or measuring the temp with a laser tool) looking for differences of temp in the four motors. Also give them a sniff after flight. Also, blowing them out with an air can or even a vacuum cleaner periodically.

Edit: Here it is: Crashed today...
