Default RE: Motor Break-in?
Cltmte,

Hmmmm, hot brushless motor. Don't know how many hours you have on your HBKII, but the motor shouldn't get that hot. Maybe time for a lube job on the motor and shaft bearings. Also, check that gear mess isn't to tight and belt drive isn't to tight, for starters. Something is binding to get a brushless motor that hot. Do you have a temp gauge to see how hot it is. If it's very hot to the touch, it's over an exceptable 140 degrees. And I think 140 is way to hot. IMHO.

I have a brushless on the HBKII (never had the brushed) and I fly 1350 mAh power packs and get about 10-14 minutes of flying, but boy it is hot when done. Motor is very hot to the touch and battery is a bit more than warm.
