The Kv is the amount of RPM per Volt. The 8XL such as the one Mike sells in his store has a 1875Kv (Just multiply by how many volts you are actually using to get your total RPM unloaded).

No BL_RVO, the unloaded kv of the 8XL is 2084, the loaded kv is 1875kv...

Different retailers may list slightly different specs though, and some dont list whether the advertized kv is loaded or unloaded.

how can you give a loaded kv? surely it would be different at different loads?
