I’m building a speed run car and would like some advice. I have three motors to choose from and I’d like to hear some pros and cons. Will be running on an XLX2.
1. A new TP 5660 1170kv. I bought this when TP had the sale a couple months ago and got a pretty great deal on it. My thought was I could probably gear it to the moon on 6s plus it’s 8s capable. Then I heard the XLX2 has issues with 6-pole motors over 30K rpm, and this one is good for 59K. Then I heard lower KV 6-poles are generally ok, so I have a little confusion.
2. HW 4985 1650kv. I’ve heard this motor runs great with the XLX2 and I think it’s a good KV for speed running?
3. A TP 4060 1750KV I bought from a forum member. Again, I got a good deal on it and figured the KV range was good.
Any advice is appreciated!
