OK...how long should the stock motor last? How about the 370 with a heat sink?

I'm going by Gyro Hobbies to pick up the 370 and a heat sink if they have one. Should I break this motor in first?

Thanks a bunch!

Yes, you should break it in before use. About any can motor will need the brushes seated before much current is passed through them.

I would suspect that if the motor was timed and maintained correctly, that you would get several hundred flights out of it.

Let us know how it goes!
