brushless...4800kv = 4.5 turn? true or false
 

hi, just wondering the equasion for working out the turns of a brushless motor. is a 6000kv a 6.5, 4800kv a 4.5 etc.... just some shops advertise in kv and we normally work in the point 5 system. any help would be great..
cheers

NO.....

That is not how the ratings work.

Just look at this chart from novaks website and you will see that.

There are several factors that will influence the rated KV of motor, The number of windings, type of windings, length of can are 3 of the bigger ones.


If I had to gues the whole .5 system was created to make it easier for the general rc population to know which motors were faster and slower. But this is just a guess on my part. I'm sure someone else will have more details.

so working off the novak chart a 4800kv would be about a 6.5

NO, the point RobbieS was making is that they are two totally different ways of rating a motor.

kV is simply a way of rating the RPM per volt of a motor. It does not take power into account at all.

4.5 etc is the actual motor winding. A lower wind is a more powerful motor and usually revs higher too.

Don't try and compare the two, it simply cannot be done. Just worry about the wind in 540-equivalent sensored motors.

NO, NO, F****N NO:lol::lol::lol::lol::nod::lol::nod::tire::tire:

The above link has it all, there dose seem to be an equasion=
3.5 = 10500 kv
4.5 = 9000 kv
5.5 = 7400kv
6.5 = 6400kv
13.5 = 3300kv

much easyer if they just put HP & RPM per Volt
