Motor Break In Help
So I realized when I was getting a new motor for the Tamiya race coming up soon that they like you to break-in your motors in with a dyno or some other device. My question is, without buying a motor tool, is there another way to break-in a motor?

It is the Trinity C027 Pro motor. The instructions ask for it to be run for 8min at 2v....like I said without a motor dyno, I have no idea how to run it at that pace. I have done the water dip, but i don't know about the 2v part though.

get 2 loose cells and put the together and attach alligator clips then that is 2.4v of power and run it for however long you need to.

What kinda charger are you using? Alot have a motor run function that can be set to 2v. I like to breakin CO27's at 1v for 5min, it is really easy on the brushes, also be sure to oil the bushings before every run, after you breakin the motor, cut the comm (if you don't have a lathe ask around the track I am sure someone does) then your motor will be at peak performance. Also what brushes are you using? For that motor the F-Brushes sold by EA and Brood work Incredible. After 10-25 runs you will want to cut the comm again, some people will tell you to put in new brushes, but it really isn't necessary (only if they are burnt), the reason being is they are already broken in and conformed to the shape of the comm, if you have a serrattor you can do that but again it isn't a big deal.
