Fuel For the XBE

I bet I could just edit my order. I have picked up a Leopard 5692 in the meantime. The motor in your link has about half of the kv as the Leapord. What is the benefit of the lower kv.

You can run higher voltages and gear it a lot higher without it getting hot.

I always thought the lower KV gave you more torque but less RPM. I could be way off though because brushless motors seem to confuse my old brain...

Let me know what you feel the performance difference is with the Leopard compared to the stocker.

Thanks man.

I think I'll edit my order before this runs out also. LOL

I will have to save it for when I upgrade the esc.

The kv = rpm at one volt. The stronger the magnets the lower the kv more or less. The leopard makes the car scary, like wow I could break my own legs. I want the lower kv to run 8s Maybe 10s.

I cancled my HK 5692 order and placed a new one.

Now what did you take?

Gonna add one of these to the project list. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=24850

Lol, that's a big one. Look at the weight! But the price is... Priceless ;-) . For under 100! Wauw! What esc are you going to use?

Ahahaha. Russian roulette with an R/C.

That's how I understood it, as well.

I haven't decided yet. I'm gonna throw the Leopard for a while. Have to get some larger batts also.
