You just need some more points on the curve to define it better and see where you'd expect the max would be for both torque and power. Does your data logger record RPM?
I did some real testing Saturday night and was impressed and happy with the results. The peak amps are all under 240 amps and the continuous amps are 160 and less. The only dislike is the battery draw, the load is so impressive it is pulling the packs down 5-7 volts with each run of 132'... Think I need bigger packs..
