Has anyone done actual dyno tests on some of these motors to confirm that the "½ Free Speed X ½ Stall Torque" based calculation is reasonably accurate? I assume that the calculation should be fairly close to actual output, but I'm curious as to how close. The actual output might be higher than a calc. based on stall torque because the commutator timing is set to optimize the motor for some rpm greater than zero in the "forward" direction.
