Does higher Kv mean faster motor?
Kv describes the RPM (revolutions per minute) a motor does per Volt that is put into it. Generally speaking the more Kv a motor has, the more RPM and more power. For example, a 9000Kv motor would be faster than a 2200Kv motor. If Kv is like horsepower, then Turns is the physical attribute of a motor.
Does a higher Kv motor have more torque?
Kv allows you to get a handle on the torque that can be expected from a particular motor. Torque is determined by the number of winds on the armature and the strength of the magnets. A low Kv motor has more winds of thinner wire—it will carry more volts at fewer amps, produce higher torque, and swing a bigger prop.
Is higher Kv better for speed?
The kV rating is the RPM of the motor with no load, not the kilo-volt. A motor that has a higher kV will have more top end speed, but not as much Torque. A motor with a lower kV will have more power and will accelerate faster.
What is the most powerful RC brushless motor?
What is the most powerful RC motor? The MGM Losi 5-T brushless motor is regarded as the most powerful RC motor. The model comes with soldered battery, PC cables and motor connectors for providing very high power.
Is higher Kv better for RC car?
Quick answer: no, higher Kv is not better. It’s not worse either. It’s a key property of the motor that you need to look at to get a motor that fits your system (batteries, ESC, car).
Is a higher Kv brushless motor faster?
The simplistic answer is yes, higher kv does increase the speed of your RC car.
How many KV is the Traxxas Velineon motor?
3500 kV
The Velineon 3500 motor is a 10-turn, 3500 kV motor optimized for the best speed and efficiency in lightweight 1/10 scale models.
How many KV is the VXL?
3500 KV
Traxxas Velineon Vxl-3s 3500 KV Brushless Motor 3351r 4 Pole Slash Rustler.
What Kv is a 10.5 t motor?
Novak’s 10.5s are 4,200KV.
How many KV is a 13.5 t motor?
That chart, a few posts up, is probably at the far end of maximum Kv rating scale. I have some 13.5T, and 17.5T motors that have some very different Kv “numbers” associated with them when compared to the chart, e.g., my mild 13.5T is said to be a 2550Kv motor, and one of my 17.5T motors is said to be 2250Kv.
What’s the difference between a 540 and 550 motor?
The difference between a 540 and a 550 motor is the length of the motor’s cylindrical case, or “can.” Both motors are the same diameter, but a 550 motor is about a centimeter longer than a 540.
Is 2700kv too high for a motor?
Kv on its own can be a bit miss leading, kv just gives rpm per volt UNLADEN, you could have a micro helicopter brushless motor with 2700 kv or a 1/8th scale RC car motor that has 2700kv, one is the size of your thumb nail and the other the size of your fist, they are not the same, higher kv motors will have lower torque but higher rpm, low…
What is the difference between higher Kv motor and lower kV?
higher kv motors will have lower torque but higher rpm , lower kv motors have higher torque but lower rpm. This is not correct unless you write “higher kv motors will have lower torque per amp but higher rpm per volt, lower kv motors have higher torque per amp but lower rpm per volt.
Is 5700kv better than a higher KV?
Quick answer: no, higher Kv is not better. It’s not worse either. It’s a key property of the motor that you need to look at to get a motor that fits your system (batteries, ESC, car). Long answer: Kv is measured in rpm/V, so “5700KV” is like writing “that car can do 100speed” instead of “that car can do 100 km/h” (“the motor’s Kv is 5700 rpm/V”).
Is a higher KV better or worse?
Quick answer: no, higher Kv is not better. It’s not worse either. It’s a key property of the motor that you need to look at to get a motor that fits your system (batteries, ESC, car).
