Some of you have been asking me for KV ratings. I personally don't believe in ratings as they mean nothing unless they are all done using the same equipment and setup. By this I mean is we use a certain tester to get the KV and have it setup at 7.2V our KV ratings will be different then another company who uses a different tester and voltage.

We see this all the time with batteries where C rates have become useless as they are all achieved differently if even tested. I believe nitro engines have the same issues where certain companies claim higher torque and RPM than others and in fact their motors aren't as powerful on the track.

Our goal is to supply a high quality motor at an affordable price. I can't guarantee that our motors will be faster than others but they should be similar.
