Low voltage battery source
It is suggested to break-in the motor properly and
to extend the life of the motor. Place a drop of oil
on both the front and rear bushing of the motor,
then run the motor for a few minutes on a lower
voltage source, such as 4.8 volts. This will seat the
brushes to the commutator, giving the best
performance. Apply a drop of oil after every 5–6
flights for good measure.
