sbp motor tests w/ results

well today I tested out my sbp motor for the first time, as well as a comparison to all the other motors I have for the xmod.

Car: Supra
Set up: Stock tires were used for testing (cause I was too lazy to swap them ), metal bearings, awd drive kit, suspension upgrade, 4.5 degree toe in, stiff springs rear, soft springs front. Car was also tested with out the body.

also tested just for comparison, a rear wheel drive rsx with top speed motor installed.

Testing 3 runs each motor, 50 foot times.

Supra:

white stage one: average 4.43, best 4.37
White stage two: average 3.77, best 3.73
yellow stage two: average 3.63, best 3.49
blue stage two: average 3.81, best 3.77

rsx:

blue stage two: average 3.70, best 3.66


now the two top performers

Supra:

Red stage two: average 3.45, best 3.32
SBP with 11 tooth pinion: average 3.4, best 3.33


I'm pretty sure I could of gotten a little better results if I had more time, but it was a bit cold out. I want to do some speed runs and do some timing from a rolling start. Although the red drag motor was pretty close in times to the sbp motor, the sbp motor had better take offs, and a quicker throttle response. And the sbp motor was more consistant. tomorrow if time permits I will test for top speed of at least the drag motor and sbp since they both seem to work best with my set up. also I am sure with a different pinion gear installed I would of had and even better 50 foot time with the sbp motor than I already did.

the mabuchi motor I had from the cyber sonic tooth brush wasn't even worth testing, it had no power at all, it was slower than the stage one drift motor, with less power than the stage two top speed motor.
