This is a great rule and should be copied throughout the world in all the TCS classes that use a Silver Can Motor.

The only thing is, to get the amp draw numbers for other dynos from Trinity, APS, Muchmore ect. This is so we can have a standard rating. Not everyone has access to an Orion or Peak Motor dyno.
when the test is done do they put a break in fan on the motor? or is the test done with not load on the motor at all?

Thanks,
