Hello. Thank you all for your replies.
So, using a lower kV motor with the appropriate gears ratio for same top end speed, yields a longer runtime? Does this include changing batteries as well? i.e. from 4S to 5S?
No, you can keep the same voltage and have better runtimes, but you can up the voltage with a low Kv motor like the longer Castle motor to get even more runtime, for example the 1520 1600Kv and 6S battery.
