HGLTECH 100Kv Test and Comparison

Hi,

it’s two blade, not folding. The design is different to FR and custom folded one. I think I shared the tinkercad file somewhere already.

Cheerio

There is yet hope for those that purchased motors with the crap shaft.
I have modified mine to now fit the FR prop! It was pretty easy and only took about 20 minutes.
Now I can do a proper comparison with these motors on an identical setup with only different motors.

That’s unfortunately not true. A motor slot that has the same copper fill percent will have the same ri2 losses per torque regardless of kV

This is because a 50kV motor compared to a 100 kV motor needs double amount of wire turns so the cross section of each wire needs to be half and length of wire is double - which gives 4x the resistance.

So how’d it go with the tests?

I guess it’s fair to hgltech to report results as you got a free motor.

Didn’t get the motor free in the end. I paid close to cost price. The 120kv was faster and a better option than the 100kv at the same voltage. I don’t think HGLtech are still selling these though. I think they changed the name to Firduo or something.
