I think anything in 3500 to 5500 is a good P value with your 120v pack. Some days they will pass the test, and some days they won't. It's just a question of if there was some weird sporadic noise on a particular test to determine if something passed. The test conditions are set very harsh, so I bet if I eased up just a bit, a whole bunch in that range would pass.

It should be set to:
encoder-ticks 1000

since that's just how many ticks are on the encoder. The software secretly makes the resolution 4 times that, but it's a secret.

for pole-pairs, you type the following:

pole-pairs 1

For max-battery-amps, max-motor-amps, the defaults should be fine (they are only really relevant for when using the throttle). default max-battery-amps is set to 400 I think. same for motor amps (line to line current).

I don't think run-rotor-test is going to have much meaning without the encoder attached. that's a guess though.
