Break in That new Motor

I've seen some posts regarding failures with newly purchases high output motors. Maybe your expecting too much from it too soon!
Remember, this is a brand new item that was probably only tested at the fastory and still has yet, to seat in.
I make it a habit of running my new motors in with no gears for a couple of charges and then, put the gears and axle on for a couple of more then, it's ready to go.
I have noticed better performance on my newer motors that I received from Kyle when I do this vs, when I don't.
I know it ain't no Mustang Cobra, straight off the showroom floor but, would you go and make a pass with this new car at the drag strip, straight from the dealership, shoot no! These motor also have bearing surfaces and bushes that haven't been broken in yet. Try it and see if it doesn't make a difference for you!
