I tend to like the slower speeds for the good ole Athearns. However, when I want to really go fast, I do have to crank the knob a litlle bit farther around. <br /> <br />By running faster you will have more problems down the road. My advice would be to heed the instructions that come with engine. Don't run wide open for very long periods of time. <br /> <br />I will also run my engines in reverse a bit to allow the brushes to wear a little more evenly. I don't know if doing that helps any, but it makes me feel like it does.
