This is a test motor to work with the functions at a low speed your number actually sounds correct. I think the motor I was using at the time was a CIM with a banebot gearbox 14:1 gear reduction.
Is the motor running with a load? I would expect some kind of shooter wheel mechanism to have some inertia (flywheel) that would tend to smooth out the extreme variations you are seeing.
