I have a Perfection 3.8 and one of the Phast Motors as well as all of the motors ExtremeMicro sells (Hey, they're pretty cheap. It's only a buck shipping and the neat little motor tubes and the big transport tube are pretty handy. Besides, getting a pair of 150mAH NiCds give you some half decent backup spares if you don't already have a mess of NiMHs lying around). I know the name is misleading, but really now. Marketing is always like that. Their customer service is still quite good (and prompt at that). It's a cheap way to start to build your stock of motors too.

But as for motor testing, I don't have Namuna's setup, so I have to do things the old fashioned, prone to error way. I'll toss them all into totally stock bits and race them simultaneously. This is by no means as accurate as Namuna's method, but it should give us a rough estimate for how the Phast Motor compares to the Perfection and the EM-38 Vanquish.

One question I have is did you break these motors in before testing them? Does it really make that much of a difference when we do? These are small motors, but I guess uneven wear is uneven wear.
