That's why I said the slave motor. The primary motor would be driven normally the slave would be shorted to load the primary motor and ESC. I actually made a setup like this for the stepper we use in our Sonic conveyor.

I would short the stator windings and run them, the weird thing was that the faster I went the lower the load got. Now I just run them on an old conveyor with a 24VDC brushed motor with a wheel attached to the shaft and running on the conveyor belt. I vary the load with a 50 ohm 25 Watt pot. It loads the motor to it's 4 amp limit.

I have a lot of problems with these motors in the enviroment they are in and wish I could get a CM-36 sized motor with about 19Kv to run with one of the phenoix controllers (with serial I/O).
