The Hubmonster will shine at higher RPM, but i think the take off torque output (where the the iron core is close before saturation) will be not as high as the QS 205 V3 can do..
I gave you a free reset after last time, so this is strike one. The only advantage it has going for it is the slightly greater radius, and Doc (like everyone else) gives that advantage back with too large a wheel. HubMonster has greater width of higher quality steel, and more of it, so no version of the 205 has any torque advantage. Pushing into saturation is a mistake anyway. Doc's idea that my bike accelerates slowly to a higher top speed is absurd and based speculation plus a weak understanding of our hubmotors. I'll run my daily rider settings, which avoids a too violent launch, so that will concede the first revolution or so of the wheel, but he'll be quickly overtaken by strong acceleration all the way thru the 1/4 mile mark. Acceleration that tapers off sharply by 200m may be fine for the 1/8th, but has no place in the 1/4.
Making the best hubmotors produced to date available to forum members for essentially cost was a huge time wasting mistake that I'm done with. I was using 205x40 motors all the way back in 2008, which was before controllers were available to push the speedier winds, and Doc was puttering around on lesser but larcenous priced Xlytes. Those were truly nothing compared to what I've ridden the past 5 years. On the street as well as the 1/4 mile I tip my helmet only to LFP's Deathbike, though there will be some up and coming ebikes with 273 hubmotors to make things interesting. As they push past 100mph I'll just have to figure out a way to fit a slightly smaller tire and get real 150-200V controllers.
In the meantime, Doc needs to put his money where his mouth is and agree to the bet. If he's too chicken then you guys who believe that already insulated motor wire should be covered in a thick layer of paint or gluing on torque arms should step up and back him.
