Got to drive the RX8

I think thats a mistake and the 2000kv is a 2D. The neu 2D motors have slightly less kv than the neu 1y motors, which is how I can tell.

The advantage of y winds is that you can vary the timing for positive results, which you can't do with d winds and wye winds are supposedly slightly more effcient than d winds. For obvious reasons, d winds allow for more kv options, but someone please tell me if there really is a powerband difference between y and d? Comparing a y vs. d of similar kv, does one have more bottom end or more midrange power?

Also, for those of you who have had tried both y and d winds, its only fair if they are of the same motor series. Feigao motors are sure to have a different powerband from these tekin and neu motors not because they are delta or wye wound, but because feigaos are slottless and tekin/neu are slotted.

If I had to guess I'd say "D" stands for delta and "Y" stands for.. star?

It would be just how the winds are hooked up.

Thats right. both types have current going through two coil phases in series, but d winds also have current going through the third coil, in parallel with the other two coils.
