Griffin: That makes sense. It's just too bad that information wasn't explained better at the various motor sites. I bet lots of people are making incorrect assumptions about the ratings of these motors.

ZPB: Just because the 7XL isn't as efficient as a higher quality motor, it's still better than a brushed motor. Besides, you pay a hefty sum for the good stuff. I guess it's up to the end user if a high-end motor is worth about triple the price for ~10% difference in efficiency. If you plan to run hard all day long with no breaks in between, then maybe you'd be better off with a high-end motor. For typical R/Cers, the 7XL is perfectly fine. I just give my 10XL 5-10 minute breaks between runs.
