I switched to 5 strands of 22 awg wire. Crikey it is hard to wind tight! Took more than an hour for one phase of the motor, only 2 left. With all this work I will leave all 6 ends open so I can switch from D to Y termination on the fly. Just so happens that a 8D on 3s is almost exactly the same rpm as an 8Y on 5s (wattage should be the same too). Time to test this kv VS startup torque thing.
