Maybe try using some electronics cleaner to clean it out. Maybe there’s some residue in it. I did the same technique as you with the transmitter, so I think it’s just as you said. Trying to do it after the motor has been ran.
I just tested the original motor after thoroughly cleaning it out with electronics cleaner and oiling the bushings and I got 22.1mph. So I guess water breaking in a motor doesn't do too much to the top speed, or I did something wrong. The new motor did seem to have more acceleration though so...
Yeah but the difference was 3mph which should still carry over regardless of kit. my track doesn't allow pinion changes. I have fast eddy bearings in it (which I just got out and cleaned) but they don't allow ceramic bearings at my track so they're just the basic ones. I think one problem might...
Hmmm ok, it seems like a lot of people get 23-25 out of them just stock. It did seem like it accelerated faster. But I still feel like I'm going to get smoked on the straight. I'm gong to get some electronic cleaner spray and see if that helps.
OK do you recommend any videos or channels?
I...
OK so I water broke in a new motor at low voltage in regular tap water for a full 2s pack and dried it out completely after. I changed the water twice as it got pretty cloudy. I speed tested the original non broken in motor and it got a top speed of 21.8 mph. And then I recharged the battery and...
I already got a new motor. I'm sure the old one is beyond help at this point.
You don't have to. But everywhere I've seen says it gives quite a bit more speed
That's interesting. Does the antifreeze help keep the motor cooler?
I recently got into spec slash racing (recently as in yesterday lol) and I noticed that my truck was a heckuva lot slower on the straight compared to nearly every other car. Everyone I talked to said that they broke in there motor either water break in or other. I didn't break mine in at all...
