DEL 69 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Hi can someone explain the difference between these two motors, am completely new to electrics, seems to be a bit of a minefield , Am in the prosses of converting one of my ic buggies to electric, i would like to get it right first time. Think 4s is probably what i would go for, But 6s would be nice but the cells are a bit on the expensive side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 They are 1/10 motors, you'd want something like this... https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/hobbywing-ezrun-sl-4274-2200kv-g2-motor-black-424018 I assume it's your hyper that you are planning on converting? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) You cant run 6s on those motors. What are you trying to convert, you want an 8th scale system something like this for a 4s buggy https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/311920/?gclid=CjwKCAjwi9-HBhACEiwAPzUhHJjHbQd49IQdPJ4VKyWxHfoRMhxk5z7pyBY3-O9G7OlP2FF_hdmeuhoCCG4QAvD_BwE Do you have an ESC?

Logie Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Higher KV = more rpm but less torque lower KV = lower rpm but more torque Why you normally see the bigger trucks with like 800kv and 1/10 4000kv+ What size car is it? if its 1/8 i take a look at MAX8 with 2200kv was a beast in my Hobao cars 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEL 69 Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 This is what i am looking to get. https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/hobbywing-ezrun-max8-with-2200kv-motor-combo-397267 The motors in original pic where the first pics i cam across. Was more wanting to know about kV ratings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logie Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I was speed running a Hobao VTE think i had 78mph out of the Max 8 combo which wasnt bad! I had the buggy version running like a rally car which did 60 geared it down a bit was really fun on 6s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroholic Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 As a rough guide .... KV tells you how many revs per volt you are going to get. Faster spinning motors will provide more speed...but less torque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
