2600 Kv rated motors? which one?

I just wanted to help out in pointing a good efficient sytem.

Well, what kinfd of amp draw do you think your setup was pulling. I know that the mm is designed to spin a 2 pole motor, maybe that is what its rating refers to. Using a higher pole count motor seems to load the esc more, and may lower its ratings to suit. I feel it has alot to do with the programming. Quark and mgm got it right, for many different motors, while cc may have only tested their 2 pole motors (feigao-style) with it. I am sure that the meg/mgm setup would be alot better than the mm/feigao setup. But it is also nearly twice the price, which is revracers issue at the moment. I think it is good to start with a cheaper system to get used to brushless, and then graduate to a better system. That way if you destroy something due to assembly error it is cheaper. I still run feigao motors, but have gone to lower kv motors on more voltage, which the cheap motors seem to be more tolerant of. I guess that the lower amp draw thru the motor masks the ineffeceintcy of the feigao.
