Most esk8 motors have a 10% tolerance on the Kv.
Recently I measured a 110Kv motor at like 120.5Kv

Same experience here
Pls correct me if I’m wrong BUT
isn’t it possible to reach top speed using A quarter of throttle? I mean. 100% throttle will only allow you to reach top speed faster and more aggressively

Yes; throttle controls power, not speed, in most setups.
You can configure it to control speed, but most likely you will quickly change it back.

And actually I think it controls current specifically, I’d have to look at the implementation.
But the fact that you can roll down a hill at zero throttle and reach top speed I think is self-explanatory that they are not connected together directly.

Throttle control torque, not power, if the required torque is just a fraction of the capable torque you can reach top speed with just a fraction of throttle position

Eh, my board still goes faster than the calcs predicted. Guess the drivetrain efficiency is higher than the default 90%. Higher efficiency than I would have guessed for a belt drive system.

I going round about way of asking him for torque… old 6380 170 kV had 5.06 N-m. What’s the torque on the 6380 190 kV?

A lot.
Also, boards.

It’s about the same.
6380 190KV, 4580 watts, 5.18Nm
6380 170KV, 4100 watts, 5.19Nm
Should have some new photos up soon.

If we put in an order for a couple 6380s a few months back, is it possible to receive these 190kv ones instead?
So.
If I plug these values into the calculator I end up getting almost the same value for torque.
Is that because the 190s are higher wattag?
Does anyone know if this ends up being true in real life?
I like the 170s a lot.
And was a little worried I would lose torque with the 190s…
If that does not end up being the case I will be pretty stoked.

That looks straight up like a CVS receipt.
