While not "mandatory," we do strongly suggest taking some time to break in the motor. This accomplishes two very
important things: breaking in the motor will maximize its performance and, most importantly, you will be able to verify that
the motor is working properly before installing it into the airplane.
❑
Set the motor between the handles of a pair of pliers
and secure the motor to the handles using several rubber
bands. This is a good way to keep the motor secure for the
break-in procedure.
❑
Operate the motor using a fully charged 4 cell battery pack and allow the motor to run for about 8 - 10 minutes. After
8 - 10 minutes, remove the battery pack and spray Motor Spray into the motor (through the two holes in the side of the
motor) to clean the brushes. Apply more Break In Drops to the bushings and run the motor for another 3 - 5 minutes.
❑
After 3 - 5 minutes, remove the battery pack from the motor and spray the brushes clean with Motor Spray. Apply a
couple of drops of Break In Drops to the bushings and wipe the motor clean using a paper towel.
❑
Now that you've completed breaking in the motor, remove the wires from the motor and set it aside for installation later.
❑
Carefully solder two wires (not included) to the positive
and negative terminals on the back of the motor.
☞
The wires should have a plug on them that is compatible
with the 4 cell battery pack that you will use to break in
the motor.

SECTION 4: MOTOR BREAK-IN
●
To break in the motor, it is recommended that the motor be run for at least 10 minutes
without
a propeller at a voltage of
less than 5 volts - a 4 cell receiver battery pack works great for this. The low voltage will keep the motor from overheating
while the brushes and bushings seat.
❑
Before operating the motor, apply a couple of drops of
Break In Drops to the motor bushings. (One at the front and
one at the back of the motor.)
