What use is any of the info that the motor checkers give us?????
I use the APS and I can view high amp draw & high rpm. That is about it.
Please HELP!!!!
I have an Orion "little" dyno and have found it very useful to dial in the sweetspot spring combination. Playing with the springs (using an Integy spring dyno to move up/down 5 points at a time), I'm able to dial in the correct springs where the rpm @2v will jump up several hundred points.
On a "big" dyno and on the track, the results are always confirmed as well. After playing with gearing between two motors, the motor that gave more rpm @2v with no load, always seems faster overall.
Recently I bought the Integy "little" dyno in an effort to "upgrade" without spending too much money. But its readings were inconsistent when compared to the Orion and I wasn't able to use it the same way to dial in the spring combination.
I'll be receiving my first "big" dyno tomorrow though and I plan on seeing how its results compare to the Orion over time.
