If you look at it as if it were a circuit, you'd be measuring say.. a 1ohm resistor with a 2ohm in parallel. The reason I want to test them, is to see how consistant motors are coil to coil. I'm willing to bet we'll find some trends on "better" motors versus less good motors based on coil consistancy, and total resistance.
Use a heavy flywheel and accelerate it. Whatever motor gets it up to speed 1st, is the fastest.
My trouble with this, is if we're testing acceleration, we're ~also~ testing the motor software. If people want to repeat my results, they're going to need the same ESC on the same software load. That gets ugly, fast.
Concentrate on your other tests first, they're all cheaper to test as well.
That's the idea.
