Are motor winds irrelevant?

[MattK]

I get where you are coming from but could there be a flipside to this. What I mean is you could go in the opposite direction with this and make a really low wound motor in mass (To get the cost down, economies of scale etc..) and use the software to soften it to matching charateristics of softer motors. Then everyone would only need to buy one speed contoller and motor and use the software to define class or power requirment. Just a thought.
