There are two different types of Trackstar motors. The grey one mentioned above and this red one below. The grey one is $32 and the red is $35... Obviously, I am wondering if there is something "better" in the red one that justifies the additional $3.

Thoughts?

The description of both motors are exactly the same. Spec-wise, here are the differences:

GREY
Specs:
Can Size: 540
Turns: 13.5
RPM/v: 3040kv
Sensored: Yes (Standard 6 pin harness)
Max voltage: 7.4 (2S)
Max Current: 36A
Max Watts: 255w
Can Diameter: 36mm
Can Length: 53mm
Shaft Size: 3.175mm
Weight: 178g

RED
Specs:
Can Size: 540
Turns: 13.5
RPM/v: 2590kv
Poles: 2
Sensored: Yes (Standard 6 pin harness)
Max voltage: 11.1~14.8V (3~4S)
Max Current: 21A
Max Watts: 310w
Resistance: 0.0363ohm
No Load Current: 3A
Shaft Size: 3.175mm
Can Diameter: 36mm
Can Length: 51.5mm
Weight: 156g

So it appears that the RED ones have a higher max voltage.

Should I care?
