Do Comm drops really work???
 
Since it was raining and I'm avoiding my pregnant better half I decided to do some long overdue tests... I decided to do a dyno test of 2 brands of Comm drops I just happen to have... I used a Axiom Racing Monster Stock on my CS dyno... I used SlickZero and Trinity Black Death. Has anyone else tried that and what did you come up with?

By looking at my Data Comm drops cause the motor to peak higher in the RPM range, torque stayed about the same and efficency went up... Was expecting a little better...

Comm drops are a lubricant that are supposed to give you more power... There's a million of them out there...

They definately work, but they are hard on the brushes/comm.

According to my Dyno data... They don't do much...

Yes, comm drops are for electric... Too bad there are so many nitro RTR's out these days... You kids should have had to go through the learning stages that us old farts did...
