One question, what difference is there between running a 1527/1D (2300kv) on 6s and a 1527/2D (1150 kv) on 12s. They'll both be running the exact same rpms, will one get more runtime or pull more amps or something??

cheers

Thanks! I can't wait for it to be finished either. I'll have it before the year ends if I want to fulfill my New Year's resolution (which I very much do, :) )

From what I know, (which isn't much compared to a lot of people on this site) the more volts a system runs, the more efficient it is. I don't really quite know why, but I think it is because a higher voltage system will pull less amps, causing reduced heat and less power loss. Also, (from what I know) in order to get the same performance, the 1527/1D running on 6s would require the batteries to provide more amps, so to match the performance of the higher voltage system, you'd have to run 6s2p. There is also the matter of watts, too. If the 12s setup pulls 100 amps, and the 6s setup pulls 100 amps, the 12s setup will provide more power. Granted, the two motors probably wouldn't pull the same amount of amps, as far as I know. Maybe somebody else can clarify for you as I'm not 100% sure on most of this, haha.

I also just like running Higher Voltage setups because they are a bit more unique.
