Default RE: Helicopter glossary of terms

I believe the 370 or 380 is referring to the motor's can length. Usually the longer the can the more powerful the motor.

Electric heli 's are usually classed by motor sizes; 300 series, 400 series, and 600 series.

This is mostly for brushed motors classification although it's sometimes used for brushless too. Brushless motors seemed to be classed more on amps or watts.
