Use the Tamiya VG Motor Checker when you need repeatable motor tests and controlled break-in sequences for better on-track consistency.

Yes. It is compatible with most brushed motors as long as the motor stays within the specified input voltage and current limits.
Pulse break-in cycles the motor with controlled bursts to help mate brushes and commutator gradually, which can lead to smoother running and improved lifespan.
Choose a stable supply within 10.5 to 17.0V, such as a properly rated battery pack or bench supply, and monitor temperature during long runs.
