Hi Levon

I've been running brushless for a few years in various electric classes and I've never heard of peolpe running in brushless motors.

We used to run brushed motors in at a low voltage to bed the brushes in but not sure why you would need to do it with a brushless motor. I stand by to be corrected though

No need to run brushless motors in but you need to bed a diff in!

If it's a ball diff... never bothered with the 'Rango gear diffs.

the gears i will be putting on the motor are the old ones that have not been raced but have been played with in the road with a 15T brushed motor. so in a way that have been run in. i think the best thing to do, is use the std gearing as a base mark and go from there.

i have no idea what i am in for till it is all fixed and sorted out. and then taken down the road.

my biggest problem i might have is the slipper clutch as i have no idea how much i need it to bite and slip etc... and i am not to sure if the gears will handle all the power from the motor.

but i will strip down everything once i ahve done a lipo through the system to make sure it is all ok. then a full service is in order
