Default RE: Another brushless 'myth', lower KV = more torque

Taking a second look at this

Mattnin, what do you think of the efficiency values you get down in the lower RPMs? Is the dyno essentially just 'holding full throttle' on the brushless ESC as the flywheel spins up? I think you mentioned a Tekin RS Pro? If you, or 'it' (the test setup), held 1/10th throttle, would the system run more efficiently in the 3000-6000RPM range? What if you slowly 'walked' the throttle up to full, and so on. Am I making any sense here?
