Motor Break-in

I won't recreate the wheel, when you can learn everything you need to know about motor break-ins here on the rcuniverse forum. This is a fantastic write-up.

In this picture I broke-in a brushed motor on the Horizon Hobby Super Cub LP. Note that I used plastic ice packs to cool the motor and two AA batteries, which ran for about 1.5 hours before dying. Usually, I do not break-in with the esc wires still attached, but this time I was lazy and ran the motor with the wires still soldered on. I did remove the gear box and pushed it free so the motor ran under NO load at all. You can't see that in the picture.
