So would you say as long as the gear ratio can be achieved for a low KV motor to match the high KV, there should be no need for the high KV motor even on a low voltage? The reason for the constant voltage issue is that I race 1/10th and voltage cannot be upped. Does a higher turn motor have higher resistance or am I off base there?
This confuses me only because I have tried to match MM5700s with my MM4600 on 2s lipo in my T4 by gearing up as I wasn't allowed more voltage. I could get the same top speed but the 4600 got hot quicker than my friends 5700s and seemed more sluggish. We were all running TP8000 2s lipos. This is why I assumed it was having trouble accepting the current the extra gearing was asking for due to resistance. I will say though that it was a one time experiment and I bought a 5700 shortly after for that large track. There may have been something else going on with my setup.
Thanks a lot for the info.:dft009:
