In other words, a fully charged 3S is actually about 12.6 volts, so a 1000kv motor on a freshly charged 3S would actually be around 12,600 rpm, and drop as the voltage decreased.
That's easier for me to calculate than more complicated mathematical formulas.
Of course, these numbers are all at full throttle.
If i'm incorrect, someone please let me know, that's how I was taught.
