I got my HBFP and I am going to break in the main motor using the double AA batteries. Is there a similar process to break in the tail motor?

Thanks.

Status: offline 		not really, but these motors are cheap enought that I wouldn't worry about it, I've never broke in a motor (main or tail) for these and have never blown a main motor, and I've got a few with some hella long flight times tai. motors can last 70 flights or 7, they're just too small to have long life spans

Hello Everybody,

Thanks.

The process is similar for the tail. If you have a few, you could put a couple in parallel to break them in. Or try a single AA (but it will probably run for a long time!)
