Questions

I have a BM16 and love it compared to brushed 55
Bm16 1005 Kv.

Is there a Description list some where that tells you
What Outrunner is and what Inrunner

What does a KV mean and what KV does well in a Super with Sub C's 8 cell



Thanks

Outrunners and inrunners are both brushless motors. Outrunners have the outer can fixed on the shaft and they both rotate together. Inrunners are the most commonly used type of bl motors for speed, the can is stable and only the shaft rotates. Outrunners generally provide higher torque figures and are smaller, but have lower Kv figures.

The Kv rating is the amount of revolutions per minute generated per volt. I use a 980kv motor at 12 volts, for a theoretical total of 11760rpm.

I do not know the Kv rating of the BM16 (I think ~1000kv, but I'm not sure) and I don't run a super, but someone else might be able to help you.

if i remember correctly most crawler motors are 100kv or so. the og revolver was 1000kv and i loved it.
