i never meant to imply that all my testing or hypothesis are going to make a faster motor or find anything new. what i do with my motors is pretty standard, and i doubt my tests will yeild anything to change that.
when someone reputable tells me somthing that doesn't jive with what i've been taught as an engineer, i've got to find what i'm missing. i'm not someone who puts much into what people say without a concrete reason. i've seen a lot of hype propogated by these forums and that leads to bad decisions. this is a great board, and readers want to trust in the content of what they read so as to become faster/better etc.
while rctech is a hub of information, false information can be worse than none at all. this thread is NOT an example of that. i agree with all of the techniques in the preceeding posts. i just want to verify the reason behind them. if an electric motor doesn't expand but .001, than why do some of the fastest dudes use loosely shimmed motors? laziness? dunno. we'll see.

disclamer: this is not a pissing match.
