If you are racing competition, I would run in the motor. My experience is that you get the most speed out of the motor if you run it for an hour without any load (without pinion). The competition rules on our track only allow standard Kyosho motor, no X-speed or others. I am running with a stock motor, and I have the track record. Not even the guys with GPM or x-speed are even close.

He Thomas,

You should probably correct your spelling on that one, I think you mean 'guys '

Freudian slip

I just ordered my mini z earlier today... and I had never heard of running in the motor before. I've broken in nitro engines, but how do you run in an electric engine?

Specifically any of you (thomas) that get really good performance out of the stock motor.

Thanks!

What I have done to to get my motor to perform very good is to run it without any load for about 30 min. on to cells (2,4V), and then 40-60 min. on 4 cells (4,8V). After this my motors has been really fast for about 6-10 hours, after that I only use it for practice. The motors that came with the ready set has not been as good as the motors I have bought as spare (with the softer wires). On the track we have the competitions, the best laptime I have done with stock motor is 6,075 and with a X-speed 6,008. The X-speed is a little bit faster, but alot more difficult to handle. You really need a high grip surface and a perfect setup to be able to take advantage of the X-speed. Or a really wide and large track.
(We are a group of about 30 aktive racers, many of us race 1:12 and 1:10 in international events. The track we compete on is 10ft.*25ft. see attachment)
