Hey all,
So I pulled the logs from my MT410 running a Castle 1520 on 6s, 18 tooth pinion. Maximum wattage came out to 2800 watts during the peak, and usually it rested around 1300 or so. So this leads me to a couple of questions:
1. If 2800 maximum watts from a 1520 gives me the performance I'm looking for (it does, but it gets hot), then would a motor rated for continuous wattage higher, assume 3400 watts run cooler for the same speed?
2. I'm a little confused as to what "continuous wattage" means. Is continuous wattage the power level that a brushless motor can run basically all day long without overheating, or is it something else?
Thank you!
