I thought it would be interesting to start a thread on TP Power motor choices as this is a common topic on the forum.
One thing to note is that a motor is excellent if it is around 90% efficient. For basher setups with light gearing, you can see RPMs around 90%+ of the advertised KV rating.
For the purposes of this list, I am posting around 78% efficiency, which is what I am finding to be a good ballpark for these motors running near their limits in a heavily loaded speed runner.
These numbers are reflected in the far right columns and may not be what you see in real-world testing, but match my data pretty closely while running a 1/7 scale at 99 mph on 2s and 3s around 124 mph. (both with parallel battery setups of 12-16aH)
In this scenario, I estimate around 3.4v per cell under a heavy 400-600 amp load.
