Motor Checker tests for KV,RPM, & Amp rating

Just bumped into this on Tower :

Looks interesting

I saw that from an e-mail that Tower sent out.

Would be nice if it were able to accomidate great input voltages other than 2S.

I also noticed it looks like it only does 2 and 6 pole motors, no setting for 4 pole.

definitely a step in the right direction ; I'd like to see a more expansive unit that'll handle more motor & voltage options. Are there more like this in the r/c world ? Especially one that could determine the flux density of the magnets.

Its a nice addition to ones tool set but its limited to 36mm cans and who the heck plays with only 36mm motors? Get yourself a Kv/Rpm checker, there are at least 3 I know of out there, and use the rest of the tools you should have already in your inventory. Using basic calculations you can get all the data you need out of any motor if you want to measure its performance. Copy all the formulas Joerg gave in a recent thread on Rumrunner and the rest is fill in the blanks.
