I was trying to help a guy out, after recently having the KV ratings explained to me. Does this guy have it backwards?

I'm flying the Reactor Bipe with the 1250 rimfire and it is a great performer.. The 950 KV motor is a higher torque motor and will swing a bigger prop at a given voltage. The 1250 will swing a shorter higher pitch prop at a higher RPM at a given voltage...

I was told that a higher KV rating meant more torque.

A lower KV motor has more torque for the same watt rating. KV is obviously rpm per volt so if I have a 400watt motor with 2000KV it will have less torque than a 400watt motor with 1000KV. The same amount of energy is being expended whether its going towards more RPM or more torque but your cant have both unless you increase your energy consumption(watts).

Cool, thank you!

Tim, you're Fired!
