SMC RF-170

I've not pushed the limits on drag brakes and plan on trying them a bit more this coming Friday. The speedo is so smooth and easy to make changes to. I'm running mine in 2wd 17.5 and 4wd 13.5 buggy. Anyone running this speedo signed up for the April Fool's race?

Finished up with the Analyzer.
Surprised to find I was drawing only around 4.0 amps at 42 degrees. Didn't record KV at 42, but I did get it at 40 and 45 and 50 degrees on the end bell.
Degrees (can) -- Degrees (analyzer) -- KV -- Amp Draw
40 -- 37 -- 3191 -- 3.4
45 -- 41 -- 3368 -- 4.6
50 -- 46 -- 3877 -- 8.8
Huge jump in both KV and Amps from 45 to 50 degrees. 47 degrees put me at 6 amps and 3530 kv. We'll see how that works next time on track.
If anyone has any wisdom on whether or not 6 amps is appropriate for this motor speak up.

hi i I tune most of my motors in stock blinky to 6amps or just under over that it痴 does run as in peak power band and builds up heat quicker
go go on YouTube and see Nich Adams pages he tests every thing and u get a good idea what to tune to
