1950/6 Speed?

[BP-Revo]

I hear a lot of speed numbers thrown around when referring to the 1950/6.

Some say as little as 35, some say 45 or even 50.

Can I assume that a 1950/6 on 4S FlightPower 4900's in a 9.5lb G2R will go 45mph without a problem?

I think 30-35 is more like it for 4s setups.you probably could hit 45 though.
i've been thinking about trying this motor too.

35mph? I would have thought that motor could do alot faster than that... at least 45mph? It is the same KV as the 7XL and has more torque, i think.

[BP-Revo]

Yea, thats what I thought.

Serum said like 35 in a Savage...and I'm sure my G2R is a hell of a lot lighter...

Anyone else have any thoughts?

You should be able to do 40 with no issue on 4s and that motor. If you want to go for crazy speed runs add a cell and run 5s. That motor will run on 5s all day. I run the 1940/7 wich is very siilar kv rating on 5s all the time and have no problem at all with it.

Also, anyone know why the rc-monster store and the lehner site list different kv ratings for the 1950 motors???? 2178kv on RC-MONSTER and 2090kv on Lehner site???

BTW: I'm in th same boat as you... waitng for the Lehners to show up. I'm trying to decide between the 1950/6 and 1950/7. My plan is to run on 5s most of the time. If I go with the 7 turn I could potentailly run 6s for some really crazy speed runs. Decisions.... Decisions.... I keep going back and forth in my mind I guess what I wind up with will depend on what is in my mind when the motors show up in stock, cuz I'll be ordering it imeadiatly.

Well, I'm going with the hi-amp (don't wanna deal with the stupid 3.5mm connectors). I'll probably be running 4S since my truck IS a track machine. I'll keep a set of 5S for making the nitro guys cry :)

45 mph would be no problem. even 50mph is doable.
