Tried the 21 turn double in a car, and it was dissappointing, but not as bad as others I have tried (IE 25 turn single, Plasma Dash) On the speed checker, it hit 21kph, and that is with the 8 tooth pinion. Acceleration was not so good, taking at least 5 feet before it really started to move. Oh yeah, and that is also after I swapped out the spin brush magnets for thin Neos. The motor runs quite hot, and the FETs started heating up after a minute or so as well.

Oscilloscope will be here tomorrow, but I'll be too busy racing to do RPM testing. Hopefully Thursday night I'll get cranking on that.
