What are the differences between the vtx10 the vtx10-r and the vtx1.

Also what are the differences between the regular and the black editions?

Also while looking on amain I saw that your 17.5 motor is 1900kv. While looking at others such as the new tekin 17.5 I noticed that it has something like 2700kv. Wouldnt this motor in theroy be much faster due to the higher KV or am I missing something?

Differences in esc's
10R's - able to handle lower turn motors and 550 2-pole motors
10's - down to 6.5
VTX1 - 1s capable, 2s capable down to 8.5

Difference is Regular and Black Edition -- external capacitors on Black Edition have slightly increase BEC protection, lower profile in chassis. Regular units small foot print with caps on top of unit.

Not all motor kv ratings are the same. There are no standards to the measurement parameters. Similar motors can have different characteristics - like more torque or more rpm, but are generally similar.
