I'm looking for a replacement motor but the two motors I'm looking at show they produce the same watts (1600), but one motor is 1660kv and the other is 1900kv. I was wondering which would be the better of the two motors since they produce the same power? I'm a little confused by this. Thanks!

Both motors are 2 poll.

1660kv motor will take 6s
1900kv motor will take 4s

What motors are they and what are you putting them in?

One is a Hobbyking 3674 1660kv motor and the other is a Tacon 3674 1900kv motor. Going in as replacment in my 6 scale redcat

A 36mm motor will be too small for a 1/6 scale. It won't last long at all and will overheat quite quickley. It is made for 1/10 scale trucks.

A generic 3674 can 1500kv was in it stock and it didn't warm up at all even with no heatsink. Its geared pretty low.

But my question still stands.

Nah for that you want something like this:www.hobbypartz.com/96m215-3674-1900kv-9t.html

This is the exact motor I was referring too. I think that's the way I'm going.

O lol. well i think that should do fine as long as it's not geared too high

id say go with the 1900kv, cause a motor on 6s will ruin the diffs. stick with a power system comparable to the stock one, on 4s.

The shredder is heavier than the 1/8 versions. And while you "can" run a 6s system on them, i wouldnt recommend it. Just asking for broken diffs and other driveline parts. Just wasnt made to handle that much torque.

Cool thanks for your input. I don't have plans for 6s mainly because I don't have that ability currently but the extra speed of the 1900kv motor should do just fine. Now I have to get new tires cause the foams are jacked in the factory ones and when I remove the tires they tear on me.
