I didn't say anything about "creating a standard". As a matter of fact, I felt I was pretty clear in indicating that doing so would probably not even be possible. What I was proposing is that the manufacturers of each motor include the data specific to their particular motor.

For example, a 13.5T motor from Tekin, and a 13.5T motor from Fantom, could easily have different kV ratings...but, it would the incredibly easy for each manufacturer to determine their motor's equivalent kV rating. Likewise, a 3500kV motor from Traxxas, and a 3500kV motor from Castle, could easily have different 'Turns', but each manufacturer would know the actual 'Turn' of their motors, and could easily provide that information to consumers.

All I'm suggesting/recommending is that the manufacturers provide this information. Automobile & motorcycle manufacturers have absolutely no problem providing torque, horsepower, and engine size (in cc or co) information to consumers, so why should RC motor manufacturers be any difference? What if automobile/motorcycle manufacturers were to only provide one or two of these three pieces of information? Manufacturers of RC gas/nitro engines, likewise, have no problem providing this level of information. So, why should the labeling/marketing of electric RC motors be any different?
