Why does a car feel so much more powerful with more voltage?
I’ve been wrestling with this question and hope someone here can enlighten me.
Watts move the car and the ESC can deliver enough current for the motor to hit 1200w in either scenario. Both cars are exactly the same except for battery and pinion. The motor stays cool with either setup.
Both Cars
6S ESC
2200kv motor (1200 watts)
3S battery
Larger pinion geared for 50mph
Estimated current = 95a (1200w/12.6v)
4S battery
Smaller pinion geared for 50mph
Estimated current = 71a (1200w/14.8v)
