Steve,
Thanks for the information regarding the Robitronic dyno. From what I have seen and read, it appears to provide more information than other models. I have a few more questions regarding the Robitronic model, and would really appreciate the additional information if you get the chance.
1. Can it accept larger than 05 motors? The reason I ask is I would like to dyno a Tamiya Bruiser motor.
2. Do you know what the power limitations of the dyno are? I would also like to dyno marine motors from AstroFlight and others. I noted in another message you had one dyno set up for modified motors. What modifications did you make?
3. The directions state it is recommended to solder the motor to the dyno wires. Is this absolutely necessary in your experience? Some of my motors are "collectible" and I would rather not solder them.
4. The directions state the moment of inertia for the motor armature must be input, although an "average" value is used as the default. I don't have a PhD in physics, but it doesn't seem like the moment of inertia of the motor armature should factor into dyno measurements. That value seems like it would be independent of work being performed at the output shaft. Can you shed some light on this? Have you ever input anything other than the default value?
Thanks for any information you can provide.
Regards,
Scott
