1) What's the gear ratio? (If you don't know, what gearbox are you using/what size are the pulleys?)
2) What's the breaker on the circuit?
3) Is the Jag calibrated? (I'm guessing it is...)
4) Are there any other variables that changed between tests? i.e., were there any additions, were both tests run with a fresh battery, etc.?
