yep in mardave oval we do turn the motors around from time to time to get a bit more ive never done it myself though but seen people do it but they never get alot more, still cant touch me down the straight All i do when i get a new motor is break in at 2v for 30mins, spray, lube, fit. Then just lube it before each race with a spray after each meeting. I have tried water (was a bit worried about that) i spent 2 hours with brasso and cotton buds and a head torch polishing the comm and it didnt go any faster than the week before. Mardave have started selling comm cleaner for them now which im going to test for friday. The only way ive made it go any faster than the other week is with fresh cells with high av and low internal resistance. I usually run 4 packs for two 13 week seasons then get new ones and let the new guys have the old ones there still quick, but when your as close as you are in oval that extra bit always helps
