Look at the watts, (electrical horsepower) at the average amp draw for your application. For 1/12th stock, I like to look at the 20-25 amp range. Motor 1 was 4-8 watts better through that range than Motor 2. Motor #1 will be your better motor, guaranteed.
As for RPM, all you use that value for is gearing. Oh, and more amp draw does not equate to more power. If it did, none of us would need dynos...just our Turbo #35's.
If you need any additional help, feel free to post here or call me at the shop...
Hi,
If you are looking at 20-25 amps in 1/12th stock, what sort of figures would you be looking at in 1/10th 27t stock?. Many thanks
Phil
