Ok, why are Flipsky, Maytech, Reacher all claiming different power ratings for the 65161?
They must be aware by now, we know they are all the same motor.
Anyway, which KV would you recommend? 100 KV or 120 KV or even as high as 195 KV
Or are there other alternatives for a “simple” direct drive besides the 65161… The 80100 is powerful but sadly not waterproof and the FR motor is great but expensive.
Because people are lazy and just put up the specs without thorough testing themselves. It wouldn’t surprise me if maytech still claim theirs are better than the others.
120kv is the best bet at this stage. The 195kv should be fast enough to run a smaller surface prop like a 110mm cleaver, but I’m not sure if it has the power…
The FR motor you get what you pay for. Quality wise it’s leaps and bounds ahead!
This is no black and white. From my knowledge I think like this
FR, high price, high quality, high power
83100, you better take 63100. Cheap, waterproofing is no rocket science, vast field experience, motor can take 150amp at 12s enabled ng fast setups (42 km/h max which I know)
65161, better go 120kv to have FR prop well suited. Unfortunately so far not many ppl share their experience, what kind of stress they apply. I am running 100kv, with my new prop I can stress the motor with 100amp at 12s achieving around 36km/h
120KV seems to be what most people chose. Also watch out you get the threaded shaft. They are on special offer on BG at the moment. If you can get a 10% or even 20% voucher, you can get one for an attractive price.
Are the motors really the same?
Measuring on the test bench?
Under the same conditions?
I doubted whether it was about the quality of the stator lech, the winding quality, wire thickness, ball bearings, magnets, etc.
Too many possibilities to change one or the other product, to manufacture it cheaper or to improve it.

I am used to three blade (FR) so the 2blade felt weird at first. Also the prop from the log was only balanced but not smoothed at all. I have prepared now a sanded one, let’s see the difference. Prop was designed with help of @V_S, still u need to match your print outputs to fit motor shaft.
From 20:09 - 20:12 is full duty madness. Results are good. Looking forward to test it on new wing. The setup is getting more and more where I want it to be. Thanks to prop king @V_S
