MiniPro has just released a new a chassis dynamometer that measures the RPM, Kv, voltage, current draw, power and torque output of your 1/10th and 1/12th RC car. This dyno is perfect for motor analysis, ESC (boost) adjustment, brushless sensor adjustment, gearing calculation, tire selections, and much more.
The MiniPro dyno is coupled with to a knurled roller via a pulley and belt to accelerate the inertial mass. The electronic board takes the flywheel’s inertia (resistance of an object to a change in its state of motion), measures the rate it takes to accelerate and calculates the output power and torque of your vehicle. It repeatedly measures and calculates power in small increments to produce an accurate graph on a PC (Windows) of the engine’s power characteristics.
