Default RE: Brushed Electric Motor Break-In Guide (Not Just For Heli's)

ORIGINAL: JD and Beastlet

This is the one:

It's difficult to see, but the DCA range is on the left (three selections). One review mentions the hardwired leads. Next one I buy will have detachable leads!

I after running the motor for two hours I thought about it, then reconnected the batteries and let it run overnight. The batteries were dead in the morning - down to a combined 0.25VDC.

I think it's broken in! Thanks again for all of your help.
Gotcha. Actually this DMM has an internal switch that switches automatically between an ammeter and a volt meter. See the manual on page 25.

The main problem is the fuse in this DMM is only 315mA. This motor might pop that fuse; it'd be close either way.

Sounds like you ran those batteries good and dead =) It should be ready to go then

and you're welcome
