So the calculated max efficiency at 60°C of the motor is 93.7% for 16V and 91A (50W copper losses and 43W iron losses), and 94.0% at 24V and 131A (106W copper losses and 89W iron losses)

The esc+motor max efficiency is calculated to be around 90/91% for 16/24V

In fine, it's a pretty good motor with some high efficiency :)
I'm curious to see what would happen with hybrid ceramic bearing. I think I will do some tests later.

Ceramic bearing may decrease IO somewhat. But I wouldn't expect much of a difference.

When you compare our motor with others, you will notice our IO is very low, and efficiency higher.
