1/8th Scale Electric Conversion Guide

Good article,

Very helpfull, thanks!

One correction though: On page 3 it says Kv means Kilovolts. This is not true.
KV means kilovolts = one thousand Volts (note the capital V).
kv means rotations per volt, RPM/V (k = rotations)

Just an FYI ;)

Very helpful article. One thing not so clear though was the general rules for brushless gearing. It states if the motor is hot with a cool controller you're undergeared: use smaller pinion. If the motor is cool with a hot controller you're overgeared:use smaller pinion. They can't both need a smaller pinion. A hot motor would need a larger pinion wouldn't it?
