I did a comparison not too long ago.. Basic 3600 vs. C4012 s (3500) and using 3s and 4s, they had the same top speed. However, the smaller motor was noticeably quicker off the line and because of the lower rotating mass, didn't "coast" as long either so it was actually more raceable. I'm DEFINITELY NOT saying the basic aren't good motors, they're awesome motors. Mike, when you say the 6s is a touch slower off the line - are you comparing it to the Basic 4200? The 6s has a kV of 5900 so it should be WAY faster than the basic 4200. I bet the Basic 5300 is faster than the 6s though despite the big difference in kV.
