These numbers have been shared with me by mfr reps. I saw the 1650 number with TSR over 3 years ago. Never saw a number on the Reedy rotors till this picture that I commented to. Having said all of that, you can tell a lot about some of this just by handling the product. All my M3 motors have rotors that you can tell by feel that are not as strong as the competition.
I used to think that the weaker rotors were for single cell, but my perception changed when running the TSR 17.5 The One 1.0. And they also run the 12.5 diameter rotor when the Reedy reps were saying to run the 12.3 rotor in single cell. The reasoning was the smaller rotor would run more RPM, which I agree with, and the lighter car would not need so much torque to accelerate. Well, that didn't work so good.

Never compare rotors on one machine to ones from someone else. Ive tested more rotors than Id like to admit and NEVER seen one close to 1800 on my meter. But I know others who have them regularly on their meter and others who never get above 1500 on theirs. Its a useless number to compare to one another unless your sitting next to each other and using the exact same meter on all rotors.

would be awesome if it was miraculously brca/roar approved before january 5th.. got to run the motor this week and its a nice improvement from the m3. similar to the motiv iv'e been running but this might make more rpm. At least during the bench test it made more at the same current with less timing.
i was hoping the tabs would be gone with the new motor but nope lol.
