Hey guys, thanks for all your help.

I'm already using Trinity speedy drops. One drop on each brush for break in, and again between each meeting.

In the beginning I geared my Spitfire like 25-26/93 (48 dp, Sport2, very tight track). I found that the motor was really hot. So I ended up with 23/93. This way there was more punch and I could still maintain a reasonably top end. My P2K gear: 24/93.

The Reedy 767, if they're harder, will the comm wear faster? If not, I'll go back to the Peak 2221 brushes or Reedy #766's later and use the 767 for a while. even if it dont perform great, it's an experience...

Meanwhile, I'll try another gear. I dont understand, that the Spitfire should be more torqy, than the P2K. It doesnt fit into my experience.... Should I try gearing like 25/93 with the Spitfire?

Is it better to break in motors on only 2 cells, but for a longer time? Normally I use 3 cells.
