21.5 High trq or high RPM motor for Formula 1? First time driving direct drive.
Also which motor do you recommend for a LRP Flow esc?
Chassis is Tamiya TRF101.
Thanks!

I prefer high rpm, last thing a F1 needs is more punch.

It depends if you're running on rubber or foams. In Japan we run 13.5 to 14.0 rotors. Need that extra rip . Rubber tires, not so much. As you mentioned RPM would be the way to go. .

Just depends how you gear it. The trackstar 21.5 is known to be a torque motor, but if geared at 80mm/rev or higher, it certainly becomes very easy to drive and with good top speed. If you geared it at say 70mm/rev it would be very hard to drive.

Depends on the above plus your track size. Also purchase a ESC that offers really good punch/torque controls.

Get someone who knows about 1/12's etc to check your ball diff.
The diffs make a huge difference in 1/12 so probably will in F1 as well.

In the UK any approved motors and option rotors have a limit of 12.5mm on the rotors.
