What RPM does 2700KV make on 2S?

Pack stateVoltsMotor RPM
Nominal (3.7 V per cell)7.4 V19,980
Fresh off the charger (4.2 V per cell)8.4 V22,680

A middle pairing that suits several 1/10 and 1/8 platforms depending on gearing. KV is unloaded RPM per volt, so real RPM under load is lower. See RC motor KV explained.

What top speed can 2700KV on 2S reach?

Theoretical ceiling in mph by final drive ratio and example tire diameter. Real cars usually reach about 85 percent. Measure your own tires and use the top speed calculator for an exact figure.

Frequently asked questions

How fast is a 2700KV motor on 2S?

The motor spins about 19,980 RPM unloaded at 7.4 V. Road speed depends on gearing and tire size: at a 12:1 final drive with 4.3 in tires the theoretical ceiling is 21.3 mph, and real cars usually reach 80 to 90 percent of that. The table on this page shows the ceiling across common gearing and tire sizes.

Can I run a 2700KV motor on 2S?

Only if the motor and ESC are rated for 2S and the full-charge RPM of 22,680 is within the motor's maximum. This pairing stays under 50,000 RPM, which most suitable motors handle. Gear conservatively at first and check temperatures after a few minutes.
