I understand the motor may feel differently under race conditions but to claim one makes more power than the other is what I questioned
Lets assume a heavy SC truck needs 800 watts (110 amps) burst to hit 35 mph
Plenty of motors out there will achieve it
The difference between them will be the temperature they run at
If the motor is making more power (drawing more amps) as claimed and the car isnt go any faster then the power is being lost as heat
I will pose it as a question again if that helps
Take the following motors
Castle 3800, 2400, 2650, 2200
Tenshock 4000, 4600, X802
Gear them all for the same speed
What do you think will be the difference between them ?
Cheers
Sorry mate, it just don't work that way in the real world. The efficiencies of the motors, rotating mass, and final drive efficiencies all play a role.
I know what I post because I HAVE ACTUALLY USED THEM back to back. I'm no noobie racer here, I'm the reigning 4x4 SCT State Champion.....I can tell the difference between a fast motor and a slow motor
Besides...all of your posts became irrelevant when you just posted that the gearing for the Castle 3800 and Tenshock 4600 would be similar. You obviously have no real world experience with the motors, so you likely should stop arguing with those that do.
