Current draw of a 3511KV 5407L with no load on 2s or 3s lipo? Need some help here.

[zeropointbug]

My 7XL will draw 6.5 amps no load on 6s lipo... so it could be right. Maybe check Fiegao website for idle currents?

Hi, thanks alot for the info. I've tried searching on feigao website but all I have found is the max current spec of the 540 motors.

No prod bob.
It's probably right... Fiegaos aren't exactly made with high quality control, so everyone's results may vary a bit.

I've tested the rest of my motors and found that motors with stator has a lower idle current. Motors without stator cores but have very strong magnets have higher idle current. Higher KV = higher idle current.

Well it all makes sense now. :D

All tested are 2 poles motors.

I don't understand your last post, a stator is the stationary portion of the magnetic field. Basically its the windings in the motor. So as I like to tell people who walk up to me and start speaking spanish: "No Nintendo."

My mistake. I left out one word. Stator coil and stator core. Some brushless motors do not have stator cores (aka air cores) to concentrate the magnetic field. u aren't totally right either. :D Good day.

I was just trying to be funny. How am I not right? The stator is the stationary part of a brushless motor. It's also the stationary coils of an alternator or generator, or any motor type that uses a winding that is stationary position usually on the outside of the rotor or armature as the case may be. In an outrunner it's still the stationary portion of the motor.
I guess if you go by a wikipedia definition or something then I could be wrong. I guess you are referring to slotted vs slotless? (idk I’m asking)
