Something is not right, you should not be getting max calculated torque
at only 300 turns into a motor that is supposed to take 3450 turns.
What length and weight motor of TSS are you winding? Is it a digital or
wire torque meter? How was this rubber stored? If exposed to direct
sunlight it might just be rotted.
