I'm an idiot. I didn't have the esc retrained to my dx3. I used the kvm meter and it showed two motors not producing their defined kv. I then tried another radio and rx (a traxxas at that) and they both were just over their stated kv. Retrained the esc to the radio and with the current setup the calculator says I should be doing 56mph and I'm getting 52mph. I'll take that.
But yeah, I'm a bonehead for nothing thinking of this in the first place. I do like the kvm meter though.
simple...you have to deduct 10% loss in the efficency...
it says you will be doing 56...but its actually 52.
10% of 50mph = 5mph, there is your missing number...
well your loss is only 4 mph...
