Cordite motor watercooling +breakin

[riggerman]

Do these motors require water cooling rings or other cooling set ups ? what about breaking in brushes bearing and bushing? Any suggestions would be welcome.

Hey Andris, For the motor breakin, Larry Jaques has it down to an art. I'm pretty sure he'll run the motor on 4.8 volts until the third leg on the brushes starts to wear in. The thrid leg is in the middle of the brush. This can take a long time, up to 12 hours. Hopefully he'll se this and jump in. I have also water dipped at that only takes about 2 to 3 20 second dips. Many don't run any cooling but I would suggest at the very min cooling the brush tabs. I use a cooling coil also. Why not its free cooling.
