Break it in????
 
How do you do this with a char-g. I know with the big gas cars you have to put about for a couple of tanks.

Do you just drive it as normal or do you have to prop up the back wheels and let them spin for a while.

just drive it normally and after about 4-5 charges and runs it should be broken in

A must-do!!!!
 
I have found that my cars run much better if I break in a new motor. I do this by putting the motor in the car, charging the battery, putting the car upside down on its roof, and running the motor with no load - for (2) battery charges.

On the first charge, I will alternate going backwards and forwards, for about 45-60 seconds in each direction. On the second charge I only go in forward, until the battery is drained.

This breaks in the motor commutator brushes and makes for a better performing car!
