I find the best way is to hold the motor in a bench vice and spin it from a battery. From a visual check you can see the speed it spins and also if adjustment to the holding spring is required. This adjustment if required can be done and re tested whilst in the vice.
Caution do not spin the motor off the car unless it is held firm in a vice as it spins a some torque.

Would you believe it "Her who must be obeyed" refers to my Ruby as the toy.
