Mono 1 help

I think some motors can hold the rpm so well it wouldn't make sense to use a bigger motor. I am using the leopard 4092 1730kv in the aqua craft revolt and that motor on 4s with an octura m545 pushes the revolt faster than the stock revolt 1800 motor on 6s with the 4255 grim racer prop. Again a bigger motor putting out more power with far less input power.

They are hardly apples to apples comparisons, going from a RTR motor that was designed to be as cheap to produce as possible whilst working and has evolved over the years to be even cheaper, and switching to a decent budget mid range motors, of course you are going to see efficiency increases. That is like me saying I swapped from a Leopard 3674 in my hydro2 to a 3664 Lehner and dropping lap time whilst gaining runtime, it is little to do with the size of the motor and more to do with the quality of the motor.

If you have any data regarding size swaps with similar motors then you might be on to something, and I would love to see it. Until then I will carry on believing that knowing the KV, IO, RM and mass of a motor can predict its performance fairly accurately, and my experience of seeing the class evolve from all running 36mm motors to nearly all running 28mm motors (and those that don't running very short 36mm of similar mass).

As usual a tactful and experienced response Paul.....As an aside, did you put your best duds on for the Goodwood Revival?

I like to wear my dad's duds for the revival, it really is an awesome day out, but I have no money for tickets this year.
