This motor feels like a 25% upgrade all around from stock. Faster off the mark, more immediate power and way cooler. I don’t think I’ll bother gearing up. I checked the internals on the old motor. All absolutely fine. Bearings were perfect - hardly any crap in there either.
@@SnoriRC It's actually a slower motor. Infact by the math it's 2.38% slower (50kv÷2100kv×100=2.38095) Just saying buddy. However, it does have way more torque and can handle more amperage. So it can be geared to be faster.
@@captaincouldverc It must be the higher power delivery earlier on the throttle pull. I’m aware the KV is lower but I think the higher torque gets it moving faster and more responsive off the bat. If that makes sense? I also intended before fitting to weigh the motor as I noticed in the hand it felt lighter?
@@captaincouldverc by 25% I meant as an upgrade generally. NOT A fraction of the KV rating to stock. It’s not massively better than stock. It doesn’t revolutionise the vehicle! but when looking at all the positives it “feels” like a good upgrade. Cooler motor. Longer run times. More power. Speed off the line. To me it feels 25% better. Not twice as good. But generally better. You pedantic little mathematician 🧮📊🔍📚
@@SnoriRC Yeah the torque is greatly increased all across the rpm span. So that's going to make it feel like it's getting up to speed faster and easier. But mathematically speaking, on paper you lost 2.38% wheel speed by not switching gears. Not saying like it's a bad thing, the mt8 has tall gearing to begin with. Not sure about the weights. My intuition tells me the smaller motor with less windings, will weigh less. Not the larger motor, with more windings weighing less.
Yay! Mitty is back from vacation and posting again!
