Re: I'll bet they last a lot longer if you don't run them at 11mph

The one motor that hasn't let me down is the Perfection 3.8. They claim to be rated for 580 hours of use. I've beat on those things the most with no noticeable loss in performance. They are not as fast as some of Tiny's motors though.
That 580 hours is bogus I'm afraid. The rating is derived from testing at near zero degrees, with no load. This is nothing like what happens when used in a Bit!
