Default RE: Checking amp draw on a motor

I was assuming thats what a watts meter was (the multimeter setup). Where can you buy specific watt meters from? which are some good brands? is one better then another? Is this the one you got http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BLAL8Y/...SIN=B000BLAL8Y

You really should consider getting a good watt meter. The watt meter goes between your battery and ESC, and will tell you voltage, amperage draw, watts, and milliamps used. It's much more suited for RC use than a standard DVOM.
I use an E-flite watt meter, very high capacity, and was just under $40.00
