It looks like I was nearly right with my estimate of a 1600kv-2000kv motor - 17.5T is around 2200kv, 21.5T is 1800kv. If you match kv, does the small size and extra torque of the outrunner pay off, or is the inrunner the safer option as it draws less amps at peak? I've yet to experiment with gearing up the 1000kv I have, as it has so much spare torque.
