Thomas rc Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hey guys I'm converting a hyper 7 to electric and I need a bit advice on what kv motor I should be using. I am going to get a leopard 4082 which I've seen in 2000kv and 1600kv but which kv would I be better of with for 6s running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroholic Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I put a 4082 in a Hyper ST (2000KV version ) and it destroyed centre diffs for fun and ballooned tyres like crazy. That was on 5S For 6S running .... a lower KV motor might be saner..the 82mm can has lots of torque and would pull higher gearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evssv Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) My tenshock motor is the longer truggy can...they do 2..a buggy combo and truggy combo....I went with the truggy one......xl802 v2.....I'm runnig a stock spur and 19th pinion. ....

Thomas rc Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Thanks for the advice guys. I'll have a look at the ten shock motor aswell. So the lower kv will have more torque , what about topspeed ? Is the lower kv faster overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 For outright speed, 2000kv+, but for controllable/reliable/efficient speed, go lower. 1600 to 1800kv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
