|  Motor break in
Sorry NOOB, to break in a new motor you need to run it at 3v for 5-10 minutes. So how do you get 3v to the motor? Not sure how to run only 3v  ...Thanks J. |

Some battery chargers have a "motor break-in" voltage setting. Yes, run it for ~10 minutes no load.  Do NOT use a "water break-in"!!!! Period. |

I just did it with two d-cells taped together. Ran great with no apparent voltage drop over a 10 minute span. B. |
