| The values I'll state are not simply the numbers that show-up on the transmitter screen in the throttle menu. They are the percentage of the maximum available power the system produces.
As an example, the maximum head speed the system produces with the Jazz 55-10-32 I used with the motor, occurs at 77% in my JR 9303 transmitter throttle menu. So, the ESC was at 100% throttle when the TX was still at only 77% (the power curve of the ESC and the transmitter throttle curve are not linear). So, as an example, the TX throttle menu may say only 62%, but the ESC is delivering 80% of it's power.
With that being said, here's what I documented during my flights with the 15 Tooth:
71% ESC = 2300 76% ESC = 2350 80% ESC = 2400 85% ESC = 2450
The real world not being so precise, the data above is averaged up or down a few points, but it's pretty close to what you'll get. Of course, change the ESC, and the numbers may change too.
Personally, I liked the 2300 @ 71%. You'd think 71% would be low enough to make the ESC run hot, but the throttle stick is pretty dynamic with aggressive 3D flying, and the ESC handled it fine. The extra "headroom" the ESC has at 71% seemed to help keep the head speed more constant under loads, and 2300 is enough (in my opinion of course), with the V-Bar.
If you want to run below 2300, go with the 14T.
Hope this helps, Dave.
