Go Faster! Tune Your Electric Brushless Motor - MiniPro Dyno Review | RC Driver

[@stevemoon2136]

Wow! Awesome piece of kit! Can you PLEASE use this in a comparison video testing a selection of similar size motors at different price points? Would be really interesting to see the price/performance differences. Thanks.

[@rcdriver]

Thanks for watching Steve Moon ! Tim Smith still has the dyno and is planning some interesting follow up tests.

8:00 Listenin to ‘age of consent’ by new order. Nice.

[@leosbagoftricks3732]

This thing is an INERTIAL dynamometer, not a brake. It measures motor performance by accelerating a heavy flywheel while measuring the changes in speed. Not suitable for internal combustion engines, or any type of steady-state power measurements.

[@AB-80X]

Not really true. Many chassis dynos are inertia style dynos.

[@williedyer126]

What kinda of engine is it that your using or some good types for me to get into

[@theclutch19]

It doesn't appear that the dyno is providing consistent results. I.e. - from your three runs, the Max Power In is off by 100 Watts and the Max Power Out is off by roughly 30 Watts. Also, what does the In/Out mean?

[@mazmorbid5840]

Yes I agree, the 3 runs were so far apart it makes this device useless.

[@AB-80X]

Yep. Useless.

[@phmaximus]

this would be great for people that cant feel the difference or read lap times

[@1koenner]

Could you use this to detect bearing failure, or even better yet, pre-failure.

[@AB-80X]

Uh, no.

[@1koenner]

@@AB-80X why not? A bearing failure would increase load on the motor. Learning more about what data you get out of a Dyno, it seems fair to say that the power measured at the Dyno would be down.. showing up as an efficiency hit if you also compare it to the input power.

Did I hear the Sex Pistols playing in the backround ? Awesome !

[@RandyPike1st]

If you want a 3d printed base and housing instead of a board I have the .stl file.

[@cwatson42785]

Hey Greg do you still have this?

[@nsvaluto48328]

You were doing a build series for son seen 1@2 but part 3

[@rcdriver]

Thanks for watching nick svaluto ! We're still working on our series. Lots of stuff going on in the workshop.

[@josepherickson7618]

Love the video

[@jjirish81]

What if you dont have all the fancy gadgets, i plugged my esc into the program card and timing is one of the options but I have no idea what if if I should do to the timing! Any recommendations would be appreciated!!!

[@Ruthless-1699]

20 to 30 end bell, start with 18° of boost then turbo about 28-30° can go up to 35°. 1 degree at a time to see if track can hold

[@bluezuki600]

Do they make a nitro Dyno? or is this one adaptable?

[@rcdriver]

The dyno shown in the video is not adaptable to nitro, but they do have a chassis dyno: www.miniprousa.com/collections/dynometers/products/chassis-dyno?variant=42030372934

[@BOTAJELL]

I want one of these for my Nitro Motors! Do they make it for them? If so please send me link and I will get it! Thanks for your time.

RCDriver_Online thank you!

[@lucienpetersen]

How do you adjust a motor?

[@racingrivals8934]

Motor timing if its a sensored motor

[@sassy_gamer7899]

Racing Rivals and un sensored

[@racingrivals8934]

@@sassy_gamer7899 well depends if you can set your motor timing on your esc

[@realdriveflowboiz2864]

Can u tuna 60v motor lol

BEWARE: MiniPro are asking big money for a software key if you want to move it to a new PC

[@mikeylama]

Rcdriver, why not use a stable power source, like a 12V PSU? Using a battery will not give you an accurate reading, because the process will drain the battery. For those, that this is not obvious, could be misleading.

[@mikeylama]

Robert Conner unless you use a totally recharged battery every time, it will bot be consistent. Hope YOU understand that the esc can onlt regulate the power, not giving extra. a motor will not produce it's full power at half battery...

[@mikeylama]

Right, thank you for your condescending answer, truly shows your intellect. In my opinion, repeatability is crucial in any kind of testing, because you can not get an accurate reading just out of one measurement, if you change one component of the test. It is impossible to get the same reading out of the first test, and the 20.th, if you don't recharge the battery after every test ( even then we have the factor of the accuracy of the battery charger ) , ensuring the constant voltage( bare in mind, you need to open the ESC's taps fully to get the total bandwidth of the motor's rpm and torque) is present. You just have to have a LOT of things in order to get truly useful data with a battery, and you'd just cancel it all out with a stabilized PSU. ANY drop in voltage is only acceptable throughout the testing, if the same amount of drop occurs in every test cycle, and the start voltage and finish voltage is constant throughout all the testing cycles, otherwise you have to scrap the data, because it is unreliable. You call me dense. I call you sloppy. Hope you're not an engineer.

[@mikeylama]

I go further anlyzing your statement. What standard Lipo cell? What capacity? Under what load? On what ambient temperature? With what kind of measuring equipment have you registered the 0.2 V drop over 7 minutes?How many times have you repeated this measurement, receiving the same result? During racing with touring cars, I deplete a 6Ah battery almost completely with a 4.5T motor under 5 minutes, that is not quite the same as what you stated. In my 700 e-helo, I drained 12S 5Ah battery in just 4 minutes. So, where is this five percent? Or I might be missing something, who knows, I'm just a dense idiot from buttfuckwille right?

[@jeremyperson4700]

I race 1/10th RC vehicles and here's what I know to be true. There is a speed control between the battery and motor on my cars, and my cars have less "punch" and achieve a lower RPM during the last minute of a race then they do the first minute of the race.

[@cbr7170]

mikeylama you are right. Don't bother with him.
