I run my silver cans at 1amp with a fan, backwards for 12 to 14 hours.

forgot an "a" and a comma. Run the motor reverse polarity.....

That means the NEG & POS are switched, so if you have any sort of equipment that can run motors, (Like a MM motor master, CE Turbo35, Duratrax Ice, etc.) you hook black to red, and red to black....

****not being a wisea$$, just trying to be clear.

Thanks for the info. I thaugh you were using some type of external fan...I will try your tip with an Ice.

Just a very old, very well broken in, very well maintained four hole motor. What I call a 'Genetic Mutant'. Buy enough of them and you eventually come across one or two. Properly cared for, they will last for several seasons.

Unfortunately, that particular little monster turned its final wheel at Aliso in July last year Troy may remember the armature because I brought it over to show him- it was the one with two black roasty sections on it and the copper peeling off of the comm. Sad.
