Motor Break in

[Jacks9930]

Well I don’t know about you guys but I suck at breaking in motors. I tend to want to dive them too hard too soon.

So what I want to do is to build a test stump for breaking in a motor. I have a plan on how to build one but I need to find a programmable module to operate the throttle.

Does anyone know where I can find something like that or a brand name?

What is a test stump?

Are you talking about just breaking it in on a bench? http://www.hudy.net/eshop/products/...=839ab46820b524afda05122893c2fe8e&kategoria=0Hudy has one, I prefer using a little self control and break an engine in on my rig, I'll use the money I saved and put it towards other parts.

i like the idea.. What about using a servo and remote?

 

[Greywolf74]

seems like a bad idea to me as theres no load on the engine.

Do you really need to make, or buy one.
Take the wheels off/jack it up off the surface, set the throttle trim so that the wheels turn at a decent speed( not crazy fast). Make yourself a drink, sit back and enjoy for 5-10min.
Charge batteries back up and boosh, job done.

The plan was to have a fly wheel for a load and a servo attached to a computer that would operate the throttle. The computer would be preprogrammed to obtain the proper break in procedure.

Seems a bit spendy and overkill IMHO. I always throw old tires on and just break it in on the street/driveway in front of the house.

I know it is not practical but it is more about, can I, then should I. If I can find the parts without spending more then $300 I will probly give it a go.

I think it is cool i mean we like to tinker with our rcs this is like tinkering with computers and rcs would be a cool project

there's also some chargers that have the motor break in option. i might ask about that, i still run brushed.
