Seems that a good rule is to mimic a nitro which is good news when converting to electric, because it makes the gearing no problem... we can basicly run the stock ratios.

I used to think we would have to modify for lower gearing but now I'm actually gearing higher.

30-35K is typical for high-revving nitros I believe, and many don't get a sniff at 30K in reality.

So... 30K give or take seems a good choice.

As a side note, part of the reason I chose the low kv, is that it leaves some room to "volt up"... I expect to be trying 6s lipo at least in the future... so even my 1700kv may be to much eventually.
