Hello Bry, that's a great explanation.


Generally speaking, what creates more heat, over gearing a motor or over-timing to compensate for lack of RPMs? Or do both those kind of fall off the efficiency curve about the same and it becomes a moot point? I suppose this would also depend largely on the motor?


Does increasing the timing lessen the peak current demand (because the motor is working less efficiently) or is it just trading more KVs for more heat and still demanding the same current? The thought process behind that question is wondering if you can compensate for a mediocre battery with extra timing?


I am a nerd and find electric motor physics fascinating.
