I have some spec lists from motors used in kits over the years. What motor sheets are you looking for?

As a general rule, teams should only use the specs as a starting point. The specs are tested under very strict conditions using well regulated voltage sources and low loss wiring. A motor will never perform on the robot as it is shown by the specifications. The variables of the condition of the battery, the wiring, and the speed controller all need to be accounted for in your design. Actual results will vary!
