What kind of Victors? 884 or 888? They have substantially different output curves. The 888s are considerably more linear than the 884s.

This thread is about Talons too. Did your testing include looking at the Talon output?

If not, you might be interested in these test results.


Our load was a motor that we had lying around. I'm not sure which kind. I believe we had a mix of 888s and 884s, but mostly 884s. We didn't have more than four 888s, the amount we needed.
We couldn't get our hands on talons unfortunately.
