I completely agree. I just want to test to show the power requirements at different rpms. That'll give us a much better understanding of what is actually going on.
Once we have that information, I'll probably print another pulley that gives me the max rpms I want at closer to max motor rpms.
Poking a hole in the middle of the pulley sounds like a great idea. I shall definitely do that.
