Good Job! You beat the factory on fill.
Yeah, I went with an 8 turn so I could compare it to the 8 turn Wye I have from the factory. I still haven't finished the last phase, another 1.5 hours of winding.


If you want to get a ballpark for kv, a motor that is twice as long with the same wind count will have half the kv. Same formula works for a motor that is 1.5 times as long. As for wind count, the formula is really stinkin complicated so I'm not going to even attempt. When you change stator diameter it messes with things. When you change magnet strength it messes with things too.
