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
