"Let us know if you see a difference in performance on the track.....
At one stage there was a fad in South Africa where NC1/2 were half filled via the screw holes, with baby oil and then run in - no conclusive evidence that this actually improved performance.... "
Tony, yes the break in helps..... is it a lot?? not really sure, but you can see the difference with a stock unbroken in motor compaired to a broken in motor..

"One thing, what power supply are you using? I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving my elastic band holding the throttle down for twelve hours for fear of it overheating (the throttle, not the elastic band ) - I trashed several old style Scaley ones doing that for a lot less than twelve hours.
And, sorry if this is a numb-nut question but why does the volts matter? I thought I had picked up from this forum that it is current that is really King?"

I use a Loko 400 var. supply.... 4 to 18 volt, 20 amps........
For the motor hook up the Loko has several power outlets... I just hook up 2 wires to one and then use alligator clips and attach them to the lead wires....
the volts dictate the RPMs of the motor...... now I dont know the exact numbers but lets say that at 4 volt the motor is turning 4,000 rpms..... at 6 is might be turning 10,000 rpm.. and at 13.5 ( what I run my track at ) it's turning 18,000 for say a NC1...... now keep in mind the numbers are just made up for a example but that's basicly how it work with volts..
