How to break in Le mans 240T

Hello, Just got this le mans 240T 16-TURN motor in today. I could swear the thing is not even broken in. Does anyone know the method for breaking in these le mans vintage motors?

i cant think why it d be any different than breaking in any modern brushed mill, if there s such a thing

slap it on a 3.6 (3 subC) or 3.7V (1s lipo)source and run it with a fan till the brushes are fuly seated in! then a super light pass on the lathe and voila! you can ise a motor master if you have one laying around, the cyclical programs are excellent too but that extra 0'5% efficicnecy they add isnt really the point on a vintage mill

Some of you may have noticed less from me over the past few months. With my wife now half way through a second pregnancy and my incredible desire to move back home to the Gold Coast I have had to focus on family, work and the means to move us around...

Like most I guess, I have other hobbies besides RC. Hunting here in the great state of Oregon consumes all my time from now until sometime in November. Bear season opened on the 5th and Archery hunting for deer and elk open this coming Sat. I can't...

What brought me back to RC was my dog. I had adopted my yellow lab Sadie when she was a pup in 2013. One day I was speaking to a co-worker about finding some way to entertain Sadie and the co-worker recounted that her and bf had gotten a small...

I've been trying to wind down my RC habits over the last year, and while I've made a huge dent to the point I was almost done, I still seem to end up with projects. I really want to break the cycle and concentrate on other things that I need to do,...

Last post

I think I've worked out a plan to wind down in the next couple of months. Hopefully I'll be able to re-organize all my gear and pack it away. I'm sure I'll be able to cut my spending by at least half.

Spent some time at the track today. I was going down the front stretch when all of a sudden my car quit moving. I must have broken my rear arm mount on one of the jumps.

Now the search begins for a replacement.

I have broken 2 left side ones in the last year! Boil them (or any other nylon parts) in water for a good 20 minutes and the will be much stronger!

Hello Everybody. I've been into R/C since I was a kid (80s), but never really got into hobby grade vehicles until the early 90s. I took a long break for about 10 years, got back into it, then took another long break until now.

Just picked up a gold...

Thanks guys. The JRX2 was an Ebay score from Mr Lexan. I dont know if he is a member here, or not. It is in great shape.

The JRXT was a local find...the guy was cleaning out his garage, and just kept handing me extra stuff to go with it. :D I...
