Electric Motor Testing


Recommended Posts

I recently decided that I needed to test some Motors that I had replaced bearings  and also recently acquired. These are motors in the 30cc to 50 cc range so not easy to test. I also found that static conditions are not always a true reflection of what happens in the air and also the recommended propellers for most motors are not very accurate or even helpful. I decided to drag the old stick out that had been built for this task for glow and petrol motors. The firewall is designed to accept the power pod as we call it with just 4 bolts so I made up some new power pods for the motors that needed testing. The Stick has a very wide CG range and handled the motors easily even though I was testing 8 and 12 cell setups.
