Changing KV rating and max amp
#1
I am currently using the Hobbywing 21.5T V10 G3 Xerun motor.
The event rules state 2400Kv, max 1.5amps
Now on the motor checker, my motor is producing 2434kv @ 3.6amps
The G3 comes standard with a 12.5mm rotor
Question, with out purchasing a load of different rotors, what do i need to bring the amp draw down to 1.5 amps ?
Cheers

Im thinking there must be a way to get a higher KV with the same amp draw. I seen a video with a muchmore guy, but doesn't really make sense

You can try adjusting the shims, or gap between the rotor and the sensor board, typically you want all 3 phases of the timing check to be within 1° of each other and this gives you optimal efficiency which will also increase your RPM and reduces amp draw, more info on an example here:
