How long should you break in brushes for the following situations?
i use the first heat!

That seems pretty dam high, I gear my monsters about 7.2 and they seem to like it.
have fun doing that with Assassin! You will have to mill a lot of the motor plate, and that would make the rear end very weak. Stick with 1-2mm of the motor plate and yo can get down to around 6.8 and you'll have no probs or just run 2 belts. I have heard of it getting to 8.0, but wouldn't try it.

I have heard that having a bit more spring tension on the Pos sde of youre motor will give you a little more torgue...anyone know or heard of this?

It's the positive side. Red on +, Green on - for Trinity.

Default polorized springs

MarlboroRally;

The lighter spring goes on the Negative side and this is done for more RPM. Most of the "Tuned" Stock Motors come with a + Red, - Green setup.

For more torque (like in a TC) a Red/Red spring combo works best in "Epic" Motors.

I check the motor after each run with an infrared temp check, shaft drive car usually have a motor surface temp arround 74~76 degrees, and belt drive car usually 69~71 degrees.
Any input?? (23T stock... see if any different with the 27T)
I checked my temp today after a full run, my Mvp was at 183F = 83.88C.

I have a quick question. I checked my motor on my GFX, ran it at 3 Volts and got about 10 Amps. I then rebuilt it and cut the comm, checked it again and only got 9 Amps. I didn't replace the brushed, just cleaned them with a comm stick.

Is it normal to get less Amps after cutting the comm? I just got a comm lathe and wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong.

When you cut the com you changed the diameter of the com. Give the brushes time to reseat themselves and the amp draw should come back.
