[@aronjurmu6951]

Good info… but what I really wanted to know is, under what circumstances would you want to use each one? Surely they make them with these differences for a reason… and it’s not economic because they cost the exact same from the manufacturer in most cases. So, when use a low Kv motor, and when use a high Kv motor? Thought this video might explain that. (And yes, understand the premise of wanting to use variance in voltage, but is it really that simple? If voltage remains constant, max Kv? Or are there reasons to go lower in Kv at the same voltage?)

[@gregstafford2155]

Good info but what about (delta vs y) wind motors. Even with the same amount of winds delta has more rpms than y winds I think. Different wind types have a large impact on performance too.

[@RayLopezBTownSting]

Your videos have helped me a lot with sizing motors for my 3lbs combat robot, I originally had a 2836 3200kv and it kept catching on fire after being run very hard. I've since have gotten to resize to better sizes with better startup torque at lower kv ratings and all my issues have gone away along with the originally sized motor.

[@RCexplained]

Hey Ray, I'm glad the videos have helped. That's a great story. I have never built a combat robot and it sounds like so much fun!

[@blissbouwerij4033]

Good information, an overview at the start and a summary at the end, could help considering the technical discussion. You didn't mention that the rpm of the two motors was comparable at the voltages tested. 2600kv x 11.1v = 28860rpm. 580kv x 44.4v = 25752rpm. I thought that was interesting. Thanks

Hi, thanks for this (and your other) videos! Trying to explain such things in an understandable way is great and I am grateful for your time and thoroughness. It would be great, if you extend this comparison to the whole setup, not just the motor. I think, the losses in ESC and wires are also not negligible, as ESC also needs cooling. Switching and guidinbg high currents (158 compared to 40) for sure make a difference somewhere else? What do you think will change in your efficiency calculation, if you look at the whole system, including ESC, connectors and cables?

[@mikemalherbe7845]

Excellent video!

[@RCexplained]

Thank you very much!

[@manuelverdugo1737]

Broadly speaking, you should use a motor with a propeller that gives us the rpm calculated in this way. Kv * V * 70% = rpm. So for the same power at higher Kv a smaller and vice versa propeller will be used. Using it with a propeller that with less rpm will be a disaster and will end up burning the motor. all 100% acelerated.

[@Funcentric]

With more surface of a bigger motor, does that mean a large physical size motor with a low KV would run the "coolest"? What I'm gathering from your video too is that a lower KV running on a ton more volts actually demands much fewer amps than a larger kv motor running on much fewer volts. Pretty dramatic.

[@RCexplained]

Yes larger motor with lower kv would run cooler, primarily because of the surface area. With a lower kv you go up in cell count.

question for you; 4092 boat motors for 6s with wildly different KV per turns (all wye) -rocket RC 2y = 1520kv -SSS 2y = 1400kv -leopard 2y = 1390kv *these are relatively equal but then* -TP *4y* - 1350kv -Neu 1y = 1577kv why does the TP need 4 turns? why does the Neu need 1 turn to get into the ballpark of 30k RPM on 6s? is it magnet strength? whats going on here?

[@RCexplained]

It's overall build and quality of the motor. A lower Rm value will translate to less losses at higher current.

[@AaAaa-cp7pn]

Hey man, so you saying the most efficient for motor is to follow the continuous power which is the rated voltage and rated amps? But then the continuous power is lower than 50% of peak power. Isn't it too low power input? I read on some webs and they said to be able to get most efficient for motor, should use about 75% of peak power instead... Please clarify this

[@Freeridets]

High kv makes low torque at low voltaje? Example: a 3650 3900kv at 6V makes low torque than a 3650 2150kv at 6V??

[@lilvirtt3577]

80-90% efficiency on brushless? Wow, what's the efficiency of brushed motors then?

[@lilvirtt3577]

I googled it and they state 75%-80% efficiency, is that correct?

[@RCexplained]

Brushed motor efficiency can be anywhere from 70-80% typically. Efficiency for a brushed motor drops when the speed approaches the motors maximum recommended speed. The primary cause for this is arching that occurs on the brushes and commutator.

hey man, I really need some advice. I have an arrma Typhon 3s I currently am running a spektrum 150a esc and my motor is 3674 2950kv that I run on 3s and 4s. with a 17t pinion and 57t spur . .it's a beast on both 3 and 4s but it does seem to warm up the esc and motor pretty quickly off road on 4s .I'm looking to get a 4068 2650kv to run on both 3 and 4s. it's rated at 122a max. I'd like to be able to run 3 and 4s without losing too much speed on 3s if possible . .does that 4068 2650kv motor sound like a good fit? when people say a certain motor will pull too many amps or an amp hog what causes that? if a motor has a higher amp rating does that mean it pulls more amps ?

[@perspectivemeditation7648]

that is for brushed motors, the setting allows you to limit throttle in the break in phase to avoid causing damage to the brushed motor in the initial few runs , as break in should be at .3 to .7 throttle for the 1st few runs

[@charlesbonkley]

I enjoy watching your videos. You explain topics very well. My question is about a motor's power. If manufacturers across the board don't consistently publish their specs, then how to compare? Let's take the Tekin T8 1900kv, the Reds Racing V8 1900kv, and the HW Xerun 4268 G3 1900kv. All top-choice motors, IMO, but between those three, the Reds is the only motor with a published 1850W of power. We can't assume that all three motors are equal in power, so how does one motor seemingly have a different power curve, feel, or punch? Perhaps neither actually do, and it may all be bullshit specs. On a side note, something also worth mentioning that any brushless motor seems extremely weak, aka ZERO power, in a locked-rotor state. For example, if your car is pinned-in tight against a pipe, the motor will not rotate nor will the wheels even try to spin. Perhaps this is a fail-safe built into the ESC, but it's something that I have noticed.

[@RCexplained]

Hi Charles. You can analyze motor can size size, Io and Rm values to gain a further understanding of a motors potential. Otherwise, general experimental tests help determine the better performing motor. As for a locked rotor, my sesnored motors would brake shafts in half if the wheels were preventing the motor from turning. Perhaps you have a sensorless motor and are looking for power at 0 motor speed.

[@makantahi3731]

90% efficiency?!, it means if motor gets 100w of electricity, it will make 90w of mechanical energy on shaft?

[@RCexplained]

Yes if I understand you correctly

[@dallenishere7783]

I think that efficiency matters the most because you can have a high kv with high torque if it has high efficiency

[@dnml4713]

Ok so what is physically different, causing the differences in resistance and no-load current? Are we talking wraps/turns?

[@RCexplained]

The length and diameter of the copper windings.

[@dnml4713]

@@RCexplained Thank you. I think you mention something like that in the video, but it was a lot of info, wanted to ask! Can I ask what the relationship is? A greater mass of copper in the wires will have the greater KV, or lesser KV? Thank you for this page, I just found it.

[@dnml4713]

I'm assuming less mass of copper wire is faster RPM, and more mass of copper wire is slower but has more torque.

[@RCexplained]

In a motor of the same physical size, the mass of copper being used must stay the same. If you have less copper, performance will be down overall. When the number of turns increase, the diameter of the wire must decrease. Overall the mass stay the same.

[@dnml4713]

@@RCexplained Ok, ok, makes sense - thank you.

[@doccpu7]

is the rpm determined by the voltage and current thru the motor or the speed at which the phases of the internal coils change? are they controlled externally or by the volatge appled? if they are a 3 phase motor then the speed is determined by the speed of the phase changes not the voltage applied. Too much voltage aand you let the smoke out unless the reverse emf keeps the current down.

[@RCexplained]

Hi doccpu7, thanks for your comment. The maximum RPM a brushless motor can spin is determined by kv and voltage. RPM from 0 to that maximum calculated above is determined by PWM chopping in a 3 phase brushless motor. - where voltage is constant. Trying to over advance the timing of the phase changes will not speed the motor up. It will only place the motor and ESC out of sync.

[@chadhaupt472]

Need some assistance. Sonicwake 36 4082 2200kv motor and 180 amp esc with stock or undersized props and my esc gets hot and thermal cutoff happens. While the motor specs are 140 amps max. I have good water cooling. One for motor and one for esc. Will I gain much or lower my temps going to a 200amp esc? I know boats pull a big load.

[@RCexplained]

Hi Chad, increasing the capacity of the ESC from 180A to 200A (same ESC manufacture) increases the power capacity of the ESC, and should lower temperature under the same load. There are also other factors to consider which may not guarantee this.

Silly question. Who or why the changed the way if rating electric motors, I understand 700 W at 12 V and let say 7000 rpm. It’s clear and simple, so why to switch to the kv and turns ?

[@RCexplained]

I ran my old 9.6V Graupner 700 on 14.4V. What if I ran your motor on the same 14.4V, how would you determine total RPM?

[@steelrat5604]

@@RCexplained I am not here to argue, just wonder about why ? Anyway the RPM would depend of the load, I think - a bigger propeller would slow down the motor ? Beside, I have old ASH 26 model which long long time ago I got from Germany. I got brushless motor for it - I think it was F10 (700 W) from USA, cost me a fortune at the time 700 US %. Now, my dilemma is. what kind of battery pack to use for this motor which use to ran on 12 V 2000mA Nic cad batteries. I just plan to go back and fly it.

[@RCexplained]

I was leading you down a path to determine why you need Kv. In order to figure out a different RPM, you would need to take 7000RPM/12V = 583Kv (calculating Kv that wasn't provided) Take 583Kv x 14.4V = 8400RPM. These are all unloaded values with the Input voltage. As hobbyists we need this information. Try a 3000mAh 3s LiPo. Measure performance on bench to determine if this is satisfactory.

[@steelrat5604]

@@RCexplained I understand the calculation for RPM. Now, what if I want to replace the motor - how do I know which one to buy - to have the 700 - 1000 W ? I think I read about guys trying to run the motor with the LiPo batteries and burning it. What would suggest as a replacement. The specific glider is 3.2 m wing span, so needs good power. Appreciate your help.

[@RCexplained]

Find out how many watts per pound you want to be at. Somewhere around 40 to 75 is quite common for smaller gliders. Then buy a motor around this power rating. Choose a kv that will work with your preferred battery voltage.

So for rc boats running 4s-6s you want a lower kv to get the higher voltage with more heat dissipation for longer life outta that brushless inrunner motor and if the kv is higher then you can only safely run lower cell count batteries safely because they don't displace heat as well as the lower kv so like a 2900kv-3800kv 3674 brushless inrunner would best be suited for 3-4 cell batteries and on the upper 4 cell side you probably would not want to push higher c rating out of those motors because they can't displace the heat as well as say a 1900kv-2700kv 3674 brushless motor. Ok so if this is true and I am reading your numbers right the lower kv motor won't need as high of a amperage esc as the higher kv but if you use a higher amperage esc with a lower kv motor that doesn't need anywhere as much amps are you hurting that higher amp esc by running a lower amp usage motor????

There's no secrets, the duration of time was also in the video. Peak power comes from getting to top speed, not maintaining it. How many watts of power do you think it takes getting a 5Kg RC Car to over 200km/h in only a few seconds?

@@RCexplained Yes, I meant continuously. If this 320A is a peak of microseconds or something like that, maybe sure. But for 5 seconds you cannot drive 320A through any 540 motor. The amperage seems way too high for the width of the wires in the coils. I cannot find any useful resource on this. Only videos I find where they use meter on the power supply show 15-20W draw while accelerating a motor to max RPM with no load. It does not have to be in a car, you can introduce artificially load on the motor (literally even just by grabbing the shaft with cloth and using friction). Driving continuously 320A requires wires of size around 1cm by 1cm square - This is an insane wire size...

Hi Kristiyan, Take a look at this datasheet. Find the 1521 motor with a 1D wind. I have driven this motor personally at a constant 150A and it would easily sustain a 5 second burst over 300A. Look at the 0.5D wind as well! neumotors.com/neumotors-1500-series-bldc-motor-500-5000-watts-2/#1521 Here, this motor is smaller (smaller than 540 size) than the one mentioned in this video and provides you with exactly what you are looking for. Not my video but like I said, there's more than enough data out there. He does 2 tests, second one is the manufactures recommended voltage. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqK0hK2erbCNoLM Your 320A requiring a 1cmx1cm wire gauge is coming from a data sheet that is not for the correct application. You can't use chassis wiring or Power transmission charts!

It seems to me that you could explain this using 80% fewer words..

[@RCexplained]

Hey txkflier. Thanks for the comment. Check out my other videos where I use fewer words.

Lol I wasted 14 minutes of my life. You said something which you could say in few seconds. You didn't say anything important.

Hey harynian, thank you for your comment and watching 14 minutes of this video. The last 20 videos posted have been kept shorter. Check those out.

@@RCexplained Hey, thank you for your reply. I have watched your video, because I'm looking for some answers. Maybe you can help me. For example: I got (but I don't have, I could check myself) SkyRC Toro X8 pro, 2150kv, 2400W, max 114A, max 21V and it gives 45150 max rpm. Torque is 0,508 Nm. What will happen if I use battery with 8,4V? After my calculations I get power 383W, 45,6A, 18060 rpm and 0,203 Nm. Am I right?
