A shop by me has a few of these on clearance for $40, trinity lists them at approx 3500 kV. How accurate is this rating? I am looking for a motor around 3000kv-3500kv. I know they are an older motor and not roar legal which i dont care i wanted to use it fpr a basher

they will not be as powerful as a traditional sensorless motor in the same kV range... for a basher I would look for a motor in the 10.5T to 13.5T range

i highly dough a 17.5 high torque motor making 3500kv..id sat under 2500kv...proof here..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kC_MQ9IEdEA

this hobby is so full of over exaggerated # on lipo C rates kv in motors even radio response time along with servos true strength and speed..id say a stronger word just don't want to get zipped

fastest radio i have ever used and longest rang was radiopost now gone
hobbico don't pay there bills now others blame no one on list on court documents.
other failed to be on same page suffered 4 it in long run went by slow-vak.

Thank you, that is what i figured and read that factory kv ratings are inflated

they're not inflated, just different torque ratings... sensored motors have smaller rotors (less magnet) to fit in the same space taken away from the sensor board... under load a sensorless motor will be more powerful.

id say ballooned.highly exaggerated..2452 to 3700 lets see.1248 wished it was..lol falls short why do this? to all that need specific kv..

This is why Sensored Brushless Motors are rated in Turns and Not KV.
