A kv somewhere in the upper 400s to 500 would be suitable for this application. If CC's outrunners are like other typical outrunners then the kv choices will be similar. The motor I am interested in (about 4025-4035 size) will be offered with a kv in the range of 400-700.

I see a 450kv in the 34mm CC motor line! This line of CC motors is different. I'm sure intentionally.

The kv is determined by the wind. A huge outrunner can be rewound to a relatively high kv, but your system couldn't handle the startup amperage. On the other hand, a small outrunner can be wound to a low kv, but have torque out the wazoo.

Patrick was saying they ran a 30mm motor up to 1000 watts burst. Probably in an airplane no doubt. LOL

I wonder what the power handling ability of the 34mm line is going to be?

What is the stator size on the 34mm line of motors? 28mm x 34mm ?

Need more input!
