Interesting...rolf_w said:All teams obviously want to win and are eager to have the fastest machine. Everyone concludes: go for the highest no-load rpm motor. Is this the best strategy? (considering the racing conditions where one of the main failure is an overheated motor or battery)
If all the bikes are, effectively, geared the same.... Assuming all the windings are identical and disregarding control discrepancies, the motor with the highest no load speed will have the lowest continuous torque capability.
I guess we need more detailed information about the race to guess the best strategy, though....
