Hi Fellas,
Motor Break In: It really helps, makes it run smoother and quieter, it won't make the motor life last forever, but does make a difference. Just use a bowel of "ICE", keeps the motor nice and cool, see pictures. Just hook up a 1 1/2 volt D battery and let it run till the battery dies. Might take all night and won't hurt anything. In the picture, the ice i used was overkill, you don't need that much.
J-MICHAEL,
There is no break-in period needed on a brushless motor, there are no brushes to break in. That's what's nice about them, nothing to wear out. Just a drop of oil on the bearings once in a great while. See ya around.

These methods are for "brushed" motors to help seat the brushes against the comm...The Blade 400 is a brushless outfit...I haven't heard of any breaking in periods for the brushless, but naturally on any new component, I always still like to take it easy with em' and "work it in".
Spokane? Wow...I lived there about 13 years ago for about 2 years...(Off Division...Empire St...Lol..)
Have a good one,
