So how about some suggestions on how to break in Mabuchi motors to make them fast

Thanks again for the help
Well if you can get a hold of Doc he has some stupid fast motors, thats where I got mine! If you can get a small enough set of needle nose pliers, you can turn the com on the moter to advance the timing.(Cheating) I guess you could try the water bath trick . 2 volts forever under water. I am going to try to paint my mini like THIS , I did the job on a pro stock Vette.
