Motor Controller

[Topflight]

Is there a device out there that I can attach my motors to and spin them up so I can balance them without using my radio and ESC?

You can use a servo tester with an ESC and motor.

thanks for the reply

Does a servo tester record or display RPMs of the motor?

Not the ones I've used no.

This is the one I use for testing ESCs when reflashing firmware and setting up servos and motors in general:

doubtful the tester cant know the rpm's of the motor w/o a sensor that would know that the motor is spinning
