What I really want, is a dyno that will allow me to change motor pinions to at least 5 different sizes.
I haven't been actively working on a new product. I have done some more testing on making my own analyzer, but that is still a ways off at this point. I've got a couple small things that I am working on for OEM and a custom project here and there, plus I am trying to get out and race mod TC on asphalt as much as I can. Summer months are a little slow as far as the RC business is concerned, so kind of getting a breather there, lol. But I expect in a couple of months I will be extremely busy again, especially since I am planning on going back to school for another degree. So I will have my fulltime job to do, the RC business, and a full class load. We'll see how that goes.
A dyno... I have toyed with the idea of making a dyno. There are a couple of concerns with making a dyno, the biggest is sourcing a flywheel and enclosure for it. The second is writing an application for Windows to run it. I can use a terminal emulator and stream the dyno data via serial then move that data into a spread sheet, but I think end users will want something a bit easier to use and not want to jump through hoops to make it work. Then, well, there already is a dyno on the market, the MiniPro. Yep, it is expensive, but if I make one it won't be cheap either. So the point being, I'm not sure there would be a good ROI as far as the business is concerned.
