Turn on the transmitter and plug the flight battery
into the speed control. If the motor turns on immediately,
use the throttle lever on the back of the transmitter to turn
off the motor.
❑
9)
With the motor turned off, test the operation of
the three servos. All three servos should move when you
move the control stick.
❑
10) Carefully spray a couple of light sprays of Per-
formance Plus Motor Spray inside the motor openings and
apply a couple of drops of Trinity Break-In Drops onto
each of the two motor bushings. See photo # 2 below.

11)
Using a couple of paper towels, wipe off the
excess motor spray and oil.
❑
12) Slowly turn on the motor using the transmitter
throttle lever. Position the throttle lever to about 1/3
throttle and let the motor run. While the motor is run-
ning, apply a light spray of motor spray inside the motor
openings once every minute, followed by a small drop of
Break-In Drops on each of the bushings. Do this until the
battery is fully discharged (i.e., the motor stops).
❑
13) After the battery has discharged and the motor
has stopped, spray motor spray through the motor open-
ings until the fluid runs clear. Apply a couple of drops of
Break-In Drops to the bushings and wipe away all of the
excess using paper towels.

14) Reinstall the motor, propeller assembly and
spinner cone. Reverse the removal steps for installation.
MOTOR BREAK-IN
TOOLS AND SUPPLIES REQUIRED
BREAKING IN THE MOTOR
❑
# 1 Phillips Head Screwdriver
❑
Adjustable Wrench
❑
Needle Nose Pliers
❑
Paper Towels
❑
Trinity Break-In Drops
❑
Performance Plus Motor Spray
☛
Before beginning assembly, we recommend that you
first break in the motor. Taking the time to do this now
will do a couple of things. First, it will improve the per-
formance and life of the motor and, second, it will give
you a chance to test your radio system, ESC and flight
battery before installing them into the airplane.
❑
1)
Using a # 1 phillips screwdriver, remove the
screw that holds the spinner cone in place. Remove the
spinner cone and screw and set them aside.
❑
2)
Using an adjustable wrench, remove the hex
nut and washer from the propeller adapter. Carefully
remove the propeller assembly by gently pulling it off
the propeller adapter.
❑
3)
Using a # 1 phillips screwdriver, remove the two
machine screws that hold the motor in place. Set them
aside and remove the aluminum plate and the motor from
the fuselage.
❑
4)
Lay the motor, flight battery, charger, radio sys-
tem and ESC onto your work table.
❑
5)
Charge the flight battery using your peak
charger, following the instructions that were provided
with the charger. Install 8 AA batteries into the Focus 3
transmitter.
❑
6)
Plug the two sub-micro servo leads into the
Y-Harness. Plug the Y-Harness, standard servo lead and
the ESC lead into their proper slots in the receiver. Plug
the red motor lead into the red lead on the ESC and plug
the black motor lead into the black lead on the ESC.
☛
The leads that are soldered onto the motor are "bullet"
connectors. If your ESC does not use bullet connectors,
you will need to change the connectors on the ESC at
this time.
❑
7)
Set the motor between the handles of a pair of
needle nose pliers and secure the motor to the
handles using three rubber bands. This will keep the
motor secure enough for the break-in procedure. See
photo # 1 below.
