my rspecc 6355 single drive has quite a lot of torque already. I would max my motor drive wheel teeth and choose the best KV value for my desired topspeed/battery.
Grizzl-E said:I have used both, one for my board and one for my brother in laws, both geared to hit 35kph on 6s. Unless you want faster or have crazy hills I prefer the smaller motor. It has enough torque and doesn't spin so easy. My 6374 192kv is on a 34inch kick tail board and I really have to watch I don't gun it when I have traction. It's a little too much on a short board.
torqueboards said:Personally, I enjoy the higher KV. Higher KV is great for flat ground and uphill 20-25% inclines. Specifically, 230kv, 245kv, 260kv works great. I probably wouldn't go over 280kv even 260kv for that matter though. I think that's the tipping point when the torque will start to be noticeable.
I've ridden the 170KV, 190KV, 200KV, 192KV and I just don't like them as much. The torque doesn't seem to affect anything that much more noticeable. I prefer the higher top speed when I need it.
Going uphills is much better with the higher kv options. These are hills that are 20-25% inclines.
The higher KV motors also spin more freely since they are higher KV.
VESC seems to be the upcoming winner for ESC's. The price point is getting much lower and everything is pretty much built into the VESC. No need for separate UBECs.

I got 12T/36T for a 6374 and maybe I did a mistake...

None of this is true. Different motors have different optimal KV ranges. The sk3 6374 happens to peak around 192kv. The 192kv paired with a VESC is super smooth and extremely powerful when hill climbing. Be careful buying the cheap VESC's, you could end up spending a whole lot more due to failures etc...

chaka said:You are making blanket statements on a topic that has many variables. Gear ratio, stator size, voltage and many other things need to be considered when comparing different motors and how well they climb hills. You can't just come in and say "higher kv is better" because you had some motors wound to a lower kv than original specified and they didn't have as much torque as the original spec.
WeeChumlee said:Quite a few voices are in the opinion that lower KV, in combination with higher voltage is the way to go.
Ptown_Cruiser said:Has anyone tried a 6374 single motor set up at 12s? if so what gearing did you use? I wonder what kind of performance you would get with this. Right now I am running a 6374 at 6s and 18/36 gearing, it does a pretty good job, descent speed, can climbs hills, but I a have noticed that it puts a lot of stress on my batteries and I am thinking of upgrading.
SteveS said:I run this with 15:36 gearing and 90 mm wheels; I find it completely adequate. On flats, it's still accelerating when I run out of nerve at 28mph. And it powers up hills better/faster than my Boosted Dual+ did.
