      I ve got a couple of new toys on the way (xmod, mr-02) – just wondering if there s anything special I should do to the new motors to make them go better or last longer?

      What motor you have, because some for the motor do not need run-in, some of them need 150 min runit time.

      You might want to consider the water break in method.. just ask one of the motor blokes for more info about it, but apparently is better though for the brushes.

      I think I’ll skip the water dipping – but I’ll run my new xspeed at half voltage like that site says.
