LST on 6s, What motor size?

[Crazy L]

As per title, I'm working on a brushless conversion of my old Champion/Wong bothering LST, I had planned on either 4 or 6s, so am after a guide as to what motors to use for these cell counts respectively. I have only one 6s pack but have two 4s packs and another 4 sets of 2s I can use for 4s duties. But would like to use the 6s too.

Any recommendations and /or advice would be apprec'd.

Ta muchly

Cheers folks, I guess no one on here has the slightest then

1900 to 2200 kv on 4 cell, around 1400kv on 6 cell seems about right in an 1/8 buggy so would guess similar in anything else, geared correctly of course. thats about all i can offer

If the weight is more than 3kg600, get a long can 1350kv T8. It will give you more torque. If the weight is under, go for a 1400kv.

I've tested about all motor kv ratings from 2S to 6S on a 1/8 buggy and a 1350/1400kv 6S setup will give you everything you need: torque, low temps, long runtimes and less stress for your ESC. Higher voltage setups are really better overall.

Nice to see people are using my motor selection guide. I averaged that data from forums around the world and near 100 drivers submitting their stats. Randy Pike, lead service manager for Tekin said it was an accurate guide, even though he didn't like seeing references to Castle motors, lol. 2 months ago I switched to 6s from 4s in my buggy and bam, the mileage estimates were right on target.

I'm running high voltage setups since a long time but this guide is a very good basis, good work

In racing I'm running 5S 1400kv on small to medium tracks, and 6S 1400kv on bigger tracks. I like the 1350kv on astro because it has more torque which is great when the grip is here.

I asked Randy Pike for a lower kv for 6S application many times but in his opinion the demand is too low, sadly. A 1200 or 1250kv T8 motor in 6S would be awesome and equivalent to a 1900kv in 4S but with less heat, better runtimes, and smoother motor response.
