these are rated at 78 amps and 125 amps




if i am geared for the same speed will i still draw more amps with the higher kv?

i think so as total watts = v X a


will the lower kv motor run cooler



i may also try a 60mm (2000 kv) medusa as i have heard good things about these

does this help? http://www.impaktrc.com/product_info...oducts_id=3076
