14.8 x1800 = 26,640 11.1 x 2300 = 25,530 which gives a difference of 1110 unloaded rpms, and since this is something i have tested in the real world i know that a 2300 kv motor with the stock esc on one 5000 mah 3s cell provides close to stock speed ( visual analysis only), or i series 2s x2 to get 4s. 14.8 x 2300 = 34,040 which isn't too much rpm's but is much faster then out of the box, it would be like running the stock motor on 5 s 18.5 x 1800 = 33,300. My point for this thread was that i can utilize a single 3s cell or 2 x 2s cells without the need for any additional connectors or a harness. Keep in mind that i used the nominal voltage for my calculations and a fully charged battery will supply more voltage then what it is rated at.

the point is going lower higher kv with lower volts to get the same speeds will pull more amps
lower kv motors with more volts will always run cooler and have loner runtimes
and I do run my stock SV on 5s and that thing screams and I have decent runtimes with it
