13.5 t brushless kv ?

[ste mi4]

Hi all, looking at new motors and been doing some research, looking for a very quick 13.5 t.

there seems to be a big difference in kv rates rangeing from 2900 kv to 3600 kv on a 13.5 brushless motor.

does this mean the higher the kv value the faster the motor is ?

KV is just a measurement of RPM - NOT a measurement of power.

All the BRCA-legal 13.5 motors are very similar, some are tuned for torque, others tuned for RPM, some run a little hotter than others, some are little easier to install, etc etc, so choose based on personal preference, local availability and what you have seen running well.

Personally I run the Speed Passion V3 motors, mainly because they are easy to wire up, and I have never felt down on power. Just down on driving skill!

thanks sosidge will have alook to see what most people are running or see which ones are doing well thanks
