Default Fantom Dyno with drag software and heavy duty FETS

Hi,

I have a Fantom Dyno (the most advanced R/C motor Dyno available) that has been sent back to Fantom to get upgraded Heavy Duty Power FETS ($100 upgrade) to handle the hottest motors including Cobalts, Neo's, Cordites and etc. The other Fantoms might run these hot motors but are they made to handle them? I am selling due to somewhat limiting my time R/C racing.

The dyno comes with the drag software, DOS software version and also the new $50 Windows version as well. Also, comes with a laptop that runs on A/C, all of the necessary power cords and aluminum flywheel and misc hardware.


FYI, The FACTS Machine measures Torque, RPM, and Amps, and then uses these inputs to compute power. Plots of these variables are available both in relation to each other as well as in relation to time. Portability, IBM compatibility, and ease of operation make the FACTS Machine a SUPER tuning tool. Graphs shown on the screen have been formatted to be accurate within the limits of your screen resolution, and show tick marks along the axes for easy readability.

The latest Windows version of the dyno software; The Facts Machine works with all versions of Windows from 95 on up. It comes on CD and installs easily. The Facts Machine software is being developed to add many suggestions and options to your motor testing needs; including a new 'Rollout Calculator' for use in Road Racing, be it carpet, dirt or whatever. Now you can use the "FACTS Machine" very effectively for types of racing other than Oval Racing. The new program shows you "Watts Per Inch". 'WPI' means how many watts your motor is putting on the ground to travel 1 inch. Using this factor you can tune your 'stuff' to make better laps by putting down more power or tuning your car so it 'requires' less WPI to make a lap which means better efficiency or longer runtime. Battery variances such as Ni-Cd vs. Ni-Mh are also included in the Facts Machine II program.

I am asking $400 OBO.

I also will be posting pics later this evening. I have tons of references if needed as well for you new guys who do not know me.

Please NO trades.

Thanks, Mike
