I have a CE brushless dyno from a former racer. I know he used it until last year, had a printer etc. with it. If anyone is interested, email me at [email protected] for fastest response.

Her we go guys. Today I spun up the first batch of steel flywheels. We tested to just over 20k rpm. These were designed with two set screws to allow for adjustable balancing but we still needed to spot drill some to dial them in. The price reflects that we are doing a small batch job. If any of you ever dealt with designing a part and the tooling and process to make it you will understand that the price we set is a bargain. Please help us out in recovering our investment. It would be appreciated if you step up and clean us out. At the price we don't start paying for time until we sell ten.

Since I had access to the wheel first I will tell you what I have seen. First off comparing a single motor with both aluminum and steel wheels. The motor is forced to lug more with the steel which causes a higher amp draw as the motor is forced to work more. I even noted that a 21.5 USGT spec motor is forced to work harder. I honestly feel that the aluminum wheel wasn't testing these brushless motors well at all after seeing the data.

Synergy has put more in stock but they aren't quite ready to ship. We spin each one to 20k to assure smoothness. I was doing that on my dyno but he is going to do a test rig. it will be a few days before they can ship.

Has anyone downloaded the version that mike suggested with success?? I have downloaded it and sent him the email but the program doesn’t even open all the way for me and he hasn’t returned my email for assistance. I get a small program box and nothing works.

Just a question, and I haven't tried the download because I have a disk. Do you have the dyno connected when you launch the software? On my Win 10 machine it has to at least think that the dyno is attached. For me that means that the usb to serial converter is plugged into the port that the dyno uses. Just one thing to check.

If the app does not detect a serial port between 1-4 it won’t start, and you need to use taskman to kill it. Sometimes the usb serial connectors get a really high port number, you will need to change that.

Yes the machine is on and connected when I launch the program and normally I’d get the run the mota tab and also options where I can change the serial port in the program itself, none of that is showing now. I get an empty box that has only file and register at the top. Ive had and used the software on this exact computer before and it did work, i erased and installed the one on the link and now I got nothing. I went back and reinstalled the initial one that was working and now it doesn’t work at all. Any other suggestions?? Thanks for your help

I had the same issue with it on one of my machines, I thought it was just the Com port number - It may be activation - not sure why you did not get my reply - sent a PM. I'll see if I can reproduce the issue.

I figured out this issue, it is related to the old application trying to access the Windows Registry, and it not getting what it is expecting. To fix it you will need to un-install, and then delete some specific registry keys for the application, then re-load.
I was doing some more testing with generating new keys, and for them to work on post Win XP machines, we will need to do some manual registry editing to get it to work. PM me if you need to do this. I also posted a page to pull build 201, which was the last build Dave Posted on his site. RCRacecars.com - Welcome! click on Facts II

Just to let you guys know, when I switched to my Win 10 machine from a XP one, I had to get a new USB to serial converter. Probably a driver issue but I don't have a clue as I didn't get any type of messages . It just wouldn't run.

I have seen this on a few USB Serial port adapters, if you look in device manager, it does not have drivers loaded. I have been able to get mine to work by telling Windows to update/search for drivers using Windows Update.
