what is the most powerful electric engine money can buy

[$emteX]

I don't mean to come across as an arse, but asking that question in this sub-forum implies that:
a) you've spent zero time at all looking at this forum. not even looking at the structure, categorization and flow of posts.
b) you have very little knowledge of rc heli's and, by implication, little experience in flying one.

what size heli? what sort of payload? how heavy? what size blades? what do you need to do with the payload? fly a long way? precision delivery? altitude?

but go with the scorpion. they're wicked cool.

looks like KDE has slightly better specs. both are very close though.

How do you figure?

Scorpion 4540:
Max Continuous Power - 10,000 watts
Max Peak Power - 15,000 watts
Max Continuous Current - 150 amps
Max Peak Current - Unknown due to esc limitation (over 500 amps)

KDE 700xf-495:
Max Continuous Power - 6,875 watts
Max Peak Power - 12,750 watts
Max Continuous Current - 156 amps
Max Peak Current - 290 amps

I have tried a KDE 495 before, and it was terrible. My scorpion 4530 blew it away.

Might require a bit of modding to make it fit...
