I wouldnt recommending dipping this motor for breakin, youll take the chance of ruining the bearings in it. Dipping was better for motors with bushings. If you do just be sure to spray the bearings out after with some electronics cleaner and be sure to re-oil them. |

Motor break in 1. Open motor 2. Install in crawler 3. Plug in all componets 4. Run Motor is now broken in. Were crawling here any extra bit you get from the other motor break-in's really will not make any difference here. I really do not think it makes a difference any of the RC world. Well may be drag raceing. |

On the much larger industrial motors that I have seen they (and they are internally lubricated by their own oil pump system) they always run them at half for about 10 minutes, then drain oil, clean, refill oil and repeat that max for about 20 minutes... On smaller motors such as we use, I have always unpacked them, cleaned them with electric motor cleaner, then oiled the bearings myself so I know it was done, then run the piss out of them for a full pack. Clean, inspect brushes and com, reset anything thats out, then re-oil and am good to go... I have never had any problem with a motor lasting a long time. |

I always just drop them straight in the truck but, I know a few carpet racers that will drop the motor in a bowl of caster oil (fully submerged) then run it at 2 volts for about an hr. They claim that it helps to seat the brushes and oil the bearings giving them the slight edge they need... Personally I think they are full of it but hey, what ever works. Water method was good years ago when motors were bushings (as described above). The idea was similar to the oil method in that it seated the brushes without wearing them. |
