Default How to tech a brushless motor?

Our local track is wanting to tech brushless motors and I am having a hard time figuring out how this works.
We have a microHenry meter (or, at least one of the settings is 200uH) but I am trying to check a LOSI 13.5 motor. The motor I am testing this on is not installed in a car. I place the probes on the tabs where the speed control wires get soldered to the motor. Between A&B is 38.0, B&C is 38.4, and A&C is 36.6. The ROAR approved sheet says it is supposed to be 19.2.

I just bought a LOSI 17.5 and right out of the box it was measuring almost double what the ROAR listing shows.

What am I doing wrong?
