I use to use RacePrep comm drops on my Mabuchi and Johnson 540 motors. Make a very noticable difference for the first 2 minutes of a race in my experience.

i used go go juice and i thought it made good power for the start of the race

i used go go juice and after that warm up lap there was no diffrence .. and after my run the com looked like crap ......

SalvadoriRacing

i've used the gogo juice.....

I put in a brand new 19T motor e my comm wore a looooooot and a brush burnt itself up.....

I was wondering if the comm drops are crap or if the motor came with hung brushes.....

So I'm thinking that the gogo juice damaged my motor....

Does anybody know if I can use the gogo juice at least for breaking in new brushes or this stuff simply doesn't worth???

Most of the pro-motor builders Iv'e watched dont use anything to break brushes in.......If I recall,Big Jim sometimes would use a drop of mineral spirits on the com for break-in.....I tried it myself a few times and diddn't notice any difference than without,so I stopped......Hey Salvadori, since you brought up go-go juice,have you or anyone else here tried the go-go juice brand bushing lube......the bottle I got had about the same consistancy of elmers glue.......I E-mailed fantom and asked them if I somehow got a bad(extra thick) batch and how when I put it in any of my (stock)bushing motors they were noticably slower, and while on the dyno the amp draw would go up 2 to 3 amps minimum from friction.....they just e-mailed me some BS about how many championchips they've won in the last 5 years

I use bearing oil from fantom....but it works well....

anyway, I'll make a test running an old motor dry and with gogo juice, just to be sure that this stuff is nothing but crap.....

I use peak's.....no problemo.....need to clean comm every 2 runs though but the motor would have more power at the start.

i won a national title here in Aust using Comm Drops on my motor. Im not complaining

Entropy

What a corny name for a comm drop.

If I ever get to market a new comm drop I'm gonna call it Jism Drops..

For what it's worth: the motors that won GT1 and F201 classes at the recent TCS races held in Aliso Viejo were both tuned using gogo juice for comm drops.
