Alot of good info in that thread
 
Also Tower has a Sky RC Tech Extreme BMC-01 Brushless Motor Tester
The tower part# is LXAGTT they want 79.99 for it.
They do have the instructions on their website for more information. I have never used one or even seen one. So i can't give you any more information
