haha thx David but I am not sure if my method of breaking in motor is good. Consists of only running the motor without load with weak batts and then letting the motor to cool and use strong batts to run the motor without load. I deemed the motor completed breaking in if I do not see any sparks inside the motor. As to cleaning the motor I am not sure how to do it.

Perhaps someone with more knowledge on this can teach us

to improve the engine's cooling?
or to add the mass damper to the center of gravity?

The 2nd pic you see are "vibration absorbers" when the gears are spinning, so the gears can turn more smoothly

I will be testing the effects of slighted mass damper placement. I am inclined to believe that tilting the mass damper back will be more beneficial compared to a perpendicular one.

Hmm.. let me guess ar 1) absorb vibration from motor as u mentioned
2) absorb landing impact so wont bounce..
3) i dunno.. Can teach me why u install the damper this way(pointing back) instead of pointing to the front?

Btw, This sunday 8 march at tampines blk 419 the first prize abit different this time round (2 lane track wif laptimer + MS car iirc)
