KV / Gearing choices

[neweuser]

Well I have something here. I ran 5s on the 9xl and 10xl. The 10xl was a lower kv but seemed to perform better on the 5s than the 9xl. It seemed more efficient too. Better run time, and seemed to "stretch it's legs" and got more speed on the top end. I used the same gearing on both. This comparison isn't much info, but I liked the 10xl better. But, the 9xl stayed cooler than the 10xl and seemed better on the Quark.

I'm wondering with the odd voltage used, and having success, is the software in the controllers now. If you go to BK's website, they seem to still have "old" set ups that could be used with certain esc's.

You hear that people have great success with the mamba now with different set ups. But the technology has changed too.
