here’s what happens when you double the resistance with the same KV during full throttle acceleration…
efficiency goes down (green line, top left chart), ohmic motor heating doubles (90w -> 180w), battery amps increase (black line, bottom right chart), acceleration remains identical, top speed is nearly identical.
(50v battery, 0.025ohm vs 0.050ohm, 100kv, 100mm tires, 1:1 gearing, 100% throttle, %95 max duty cycle, 60a motor current limit, 60a battery current limit per motor)
