Motor Testing and Checking Equipment

I notice Fergy is lurking as I post....

Regarding SCX motors I now (thanks, Fergy!) take the brushes out of each new one I buy and wire the thing up to a meter to get a reading of... something.

The lower the reading of... thingies, the faster the motor goes.


I also occasionally tweak the springs to give more pressure on the brushes before I reassemble it all. I think the jury is still out for me on whether or not that does much but at least I can be sure I have the best motor in a car that I would like to be fast.
