Re: Motor Bias
Yes. See the thing is, how do we all know that you didn't make them "consistent"ly 15% more powerful than stock? We don't. And for this reason the motors must be left stock. As I see it, there is really no good reason I can think of to even loosen their screws. If you had a motor that were really dissimilar to the others (maybe 6% or more out of spec) than perhaps it had a manufacturing defect and you should have obtained a new one.
