ORIGINAL: Kabul Tanker

Hey YHR,

I know thee has been some discussion about breaking in metal gears... but can you give some specifics? FOr how long shoudl I run them on my drill.... can I run them while they are still wired to teh board.... is there any other suggestions to break them in better (Besides filing the teeth)...

Finally for heat... I have attached a pentium heat sink with fan attached to that to the factory HL heat sink (I flipped over the board in the hull, to do this and for more room...) I have not run teh tank yet but i hope this will deal with over heating problems.

KT
Rule of thumb???

For me it is until ( with the motor removed) you can turn the box easilt with your fingers by twisting the output shaft. if its that free, its ready.
