No problems with hot motors?

They get pretty toasty, but since I’m running reachers that’s fine. About 80C on a hot day riding up some steep hills at around 50kmh. I’ll only worry about them at 100C since they’re built for higher temps. That’s plenty of headroom.

So you’re saying that you can use scrambled eggs as a temp indicator?

If it can toss a salad too…

Raw eggs vs 11k rpm brushless motor

if youre looking for max power or max torque the more gearing and higher kv the better. maybe, or may not more efficient, but the MAX will be higher.

its stuck saying im writing to you @Evwan

Im at 16s, 11:59 ratio and 175mm wheels.

Havent tried it yet though. I would love to know the torque but cant figure it out.
