RE: poor traction issue, suggestions please!
im pretty sure the motors are just fine being broken in at 12volts. ive broken in alot of motors using 12 volts and never had problems. the reason i used 12 volts for the break in is to get a higher rpm and thus getting a quicker wear on the brushes. i tested it all out after breaking in the motors this way and the tank is running much better. im gonna add some more weight tonight and give it a go tomorrow and see how it runs. hopefully we dont get any fresh snow fall so that i can test it out with the added weight in the same spots i had trouble getting up today. i will also pick up some rubber and ca and try adding the pads to the tracks. hopefully that and the added weight give it the traction im looking for
