Does it set the NEW benchmark in Mini Racing?

Hi been running a joker for a month now pretty much same setup so really interested on the results of the motor bath 👍🏻

Yeah I’m hoping to get a little more uumph out of the motor. For sure il have to do an update on how that is. I think the usual method is a low voltage through the motor but all I’ve done is just run the motor just by increasing trim in soapy water. Once completely dry used brake cleaner and then Oiled the bearings. The Mardave channel has done a video on a water bath so that may be worth checking out too! Now I’m sure that’s not the ideal way but it’s all a learning curve!

@@RC.89 I have heard from racers to "run in" motor in reverse also, I wonder if that makes a difference? (I race a carbon Mardve Mini at Barley Mow in Durham, I am new so my experience is limited) EDIT: I wonder if you might benifit from a 16T pinion? IS your motor too hot to touch after a race?

I’ve not heard of that one yet. Hopefully someone could shed some light on that!?

@@andiwhitworth I understand it wears the brushes to the com in such a way that gives you a tiny bit of timing advance. Like have you ever tried an old tired motor in an rc car in reverse and it was faster? - this is due to that I understand.

I think I might have to look into this a bit further!
