Default What happens if you dont break in a motor?

I got a trinity co27 stock motor about a week ago and didnt bother breaking it in before running. It just slipped my mind and I ran it before I broke it in. What are the effects of not breaking a motor in?

If the use is great and the brushes are not seated then it can burn them at first.

None really.

Too late to worry about it now. Just go have fun with it, take the hit in the long run.
