Great vid. I cought myself saying unplug the batt lol

To add to your break in method. I also use a 20amp/1000w Buck converter cc cv step down power adjustable module to test amp draw on mine motor in which I do myself. Everyone has their methods on breaking in.

[@ChrisPatrickRC]

I'm curious to know more about that.... how do you do that?

To stop water getting into the bushings and help them break in better at the same time find 2 plastic caps that will pop onto the ends of the motor anything that is a tight fit for eg pen lids the caps that come with new car fuel filters are ideal fill the caps around half way with oil having some air trapped in is important next the water needs to be above room temperature the caps will then be slightly pressurised pushing the oil in and keeping the water out

[@ohio737pro]

Hmm interesting. I learned something new today about motor break in..

[@ChrisPatrickRC]

glad to help!

[@2XRC]

Great vid! Can I still “break in” a brushed motor after 5 runs?

[@CCofer]

I use lucas gun oil ( red). It's made for heat and won't break down.

[@ChrisPatrickRC]

yup, people are too caught up running "special" fluids with brands on them when there are plenty of things out there to run, and that was my exact theroy, if it can hold up to the stress of a firearm , it should work just fine for a bearing.....

[@jeffquast5162]

can this be done with a slightly used motor or would it be waste of time i was thinkn just for cleaning purpose n lube if nothing else thx love your video on this

[@ChrisPatrickRC]

Of course you can. But I wouldnt run it no where near as long. It helps clean everything after a race.

[@michaeldantoni4292]

I have the same question as a few others on this. I have around 1 hour total on my Traxxas 550 motor. Will this still benefit it by doing the break in? I suppose I can look inside to see if the brushes are grooved in to answer it myself, but still asking. Good video by the way.

[@ChrisPatrickRC]

Yes, just run a shorter amount of time. Will clean the brushes and com off by doing so which should help performance.

[@spleantrampoline]

Why can’t you just break in the motor by running it normally. Wont the brushes seat after a few good runs with the car?

[@ChrisPatrickRC]

You could, but 1 run woundlt be enough to get one broke in , plus you have no data to compare that motor against another to know if the motor is good or not. I know some people that would go threw 10 motors just to fund 1 good race motor.

[@user-sp8er7dm4x]

What did you use the voltmeter for

[@ChrisPatrickRC]

i didnt. it was just on my workbench in the background when this video was produced.

[@user-sp8er7dm4x]

Isn't there a range to determine for a good motor to a better motor? Maybe a resistance check or something? I don't know.

[@ChrisPatrickRC]

there is and theres also a reason why you dont see that information online very easy, everyone does it different and shoot for different numbers, so what works for me and my program may differ for you and your program, plus the more you do this, the more your wearing in the motor so your going to wear the motor out faster. its a fine line of balance, and trial and error to find out what works for you. @@user-sp8er7dm4x

[@user-sp8er7dm4x]

So what would be a good range for a 200 ft. roll out?

[@lackid20]

I guess I don't understand the reason for this. Won't it break in just driving it the first time? Not talking crap, just don't understand why.

[@ChrisPatrickRC]

Yes , it would, but it breaks it in faster , with a more consistent load, which promotes better wear on the brushes and sets them correctly. There multiple ways to breaking in a motor, this just happens to be 1 way I do them.

[@ChrisPatrickRC]

The other kicker , you want to clean it and lube it after breaking it in as the brushes will get super dirty and can cause issues with lamination if you dont.
