I ordered myself a Max 10 Sct and a 3660 3150Kv motor today and I was wondering what should one do before running the ESC/motor to maximize longevity? I really don't want to break it, so is there something I should do before running it?
Also do you have any experience with slipper adjustments to minimize the stock spur damage?
Thank you for any advice
 
Brushless motors don't need to be broken in like brushed motors. Install it and bash the crap out of it.... :p
 
Some motors come with crappy bearings. If it howls pretty bad, then I'd find bearings for it before they die a hard death. I didn't run the 3660sl very long, but I don't recall it howling too bad. My BLX2050kv's did though and I replaced those with some TRB hybrid ceramic bearings like these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NV36399
Seemed to quiet the motors down a bit.
