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.

The 4200 is quicker off the line when achieving the same rpm as the 6s (higher voltage). The 6s is real close to the 5300 under load (5915 is the rating with no load-under load, the Kv is just over 5300). I think the 5300 would be quicker under the same conditions (gearing, voltage) than the 6s and only a touch slower on the top. It will also draw less juice!
