Default Dyna Torque dynomometer?

Anyone used one? Still use one? What are they like? Are they cool to use?

What years were they made and sold? Got any pics?

American Hobby Products still makes them.

Torque Wrench owns one.

They do? I have searched high and low for an internet webpage. I don't think they have one. They should, it's 2006 after all.

Hey Torque Wrench: how about it? Pony up!

Tom, I do have one and it is fun to play with, it handles engines up to .91, it's been a while though. I throw an engine on it take some of the next day or two.

American Hobby Products are not on the internet. I have all their brochure on one of my other computers but it's put away in a box somewhere. I recently moved. He has a Telephone and you can call him.

I unpacked my other computer and it has the American Hobby Products brochure on it.

If someone wants the descriptive literature please send me a PM with your Email AD on it and I will send it to you via regular Email as an attachment.

Here's a couple pictures of an electric dyno. It uses the engine to generate an electric current which is measured
