Eagle Racing MD2 Motor Dyno

Hi Gary,
So you have hardwired between the dyno output and the ESC input(I use a Deans plug there), and then from the ESC to the motor(Hardwire). By "octopus", I assume you are referring to the three clips from the motor checker? (Yes)
I also remove the flywheel for timing tests.

I usually solder leads onto a motor with 3.5mm plugs when running for timing tests etc on the Sky RC checker. Too many funny sparks and noises when using alligator clips and they decide to go for a wander.

It should be noted that the differences on the dyno between my D4 and the top players from last year are small - like 2% - so, to quote Captain Obvious - if you hear at the track that a motor is fast, it will most likely prove itself on the dyno.
Depending on the motor, 5 to 10° timing can make a world of difference in torque/power/current draw. As not all endbell timing marks are even close to accurate, even between identical motors - as you are probably aware - once again it is always best to start with safe gearing and work your way up to the peak performance for your particular motor.
YMMV.
