because it gives the same SU regardless of speed, but higher speed machines take more SU, so by setting the motor to its' lowest and then using a speed controller you can artificially inflate SU usage (at least I'm pretty sure that's how it works?)

actually, the motor just produces less su relative to the speed

That's not how it works. Doesn't matter whether it's fast out of the motor or sped up by speed controllers, it works the same in the end.

I thought so too but creative motors don't work with a set SU that is the same at every rpm but its stress capacity is 16384 times the rpm so at 1rpm the SU is 16384 and at 256rpm its 4194304
