      horsepower

      Thanks make a wake, everything is listed rpm/kv per volt etc so thats what I'm trying to convert, like how they list motors on ose, figure hp and rpms is what I'm trying to do.

        well if a motor says 2500watts that's 3.35hp
        and rpms is Volts x kv
        22.2v (6s) x 1300kv = 28860rpms
        but keep in mind, the motor will only pull the amps need to run
        so that 3.35hp motor may only pull 50amps on 6s = 1110 watts or 1.49hp

          hp

          I get the rpm-kv-parts but nobody list the watts part the watts part is what I'm trying to figure out what-what-what = watts,,,,, but thanks for the other info, I'll keep that noted

            volts x amps = watts
            If my boats upside down then who owns the one I thought I was driving the last two laps?

              Yep.................so a motor pulling 100 amps on 6s = 3hp............

                The watts produced depends on the load. The same motor on the same voltage can product large differences of horsepower depending on the load (prop, etc.). So there is no way to accurately predict the watts produced.

                The "best" way is to use the maximum rating of the ESC in amps, then multiply by the voltage. Don't use 3.7 volts per cell as LiPos will put out lower voltages under high loads. Use 3.4 to 3.6 volts. and do not multiply amps time volts - that will not give an accurate value. You need to know the efficiency of the motor you are using. Most BL motors are between 80% and 92%.

                So: you have an ESC rated at 200 amps and 4S LiPos. You assume that the packs will deliver 13.6 volts under load. Your motor has an efficiency of 88%.

                200 amps x 13.6 volts x 0.88% efficiency = 2393 watts/746 = 3.2 horsepower NOT 4 hp!

                But not all motors will last at 200 amps draw. It is just not as simple as it is with an IC engine, and because the power delivery is much different you cannot directly compare a 3 hp IC engine with a 3hp BL motor..
