Nice to see that at least your data didn't seem to change much with sampling rate.

I know you pulling a lot less amps, but we are not comparing apples to apples. I know they almost weigh the same (I need to weigh my muggy, but its at least 12-13 lbs rtr)...Again, out of the electric components, my lipos are the only thing used that I don't have the whole history of. They always worked well, but again that was all of 5 runs and over 6 months ago is when I decided to buy an IRC 4mm chassis and completely rebuild it.

I've read a lot about testing brushless motors though it seems like a difficult thing to do without special equipment. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if my 1717 is bad, would the motor run flawlessly without load and running with wheels off the ground? If I had a couple more male 8mm bullets I would throw my 1521 in...new battery should be here 2/1.

Also, what firmware are you running on your XL2? I'm running the most recent, which was on it from CC. Just wondering if previous versions were better for cogging with the 1717? I know with my MMM, 1.21 had no cogging, but newer version did??
