The RX1404 falls right in line with what you would expect from this high power t-mount class of motor. Light 2" props being a little on the low load side for getting best efficiency, but better than what can be seen in other smaller motors. Heavy 2" and light 2.5" loads really hitting right in the ideal range for performance on the motor, and light 3" props also matching well. Heavy 3" loadings not really being in a spot to take best advantage of the efficiency of the motor, but not being so badly out of range to be not viable. The extra torque from the larger stator volume compared with other 1106 and 1304 motors is small, but does show, and you can expect to have slightly higher motor acceleration because of it, especially since the motor doesn't weigh any more than an 1106 in the first place.
Unfortunately the open frame design doesn't seem to have helped the motor much with cooling on the dyno, and it still shows heavy heat soak effects under high load that we've seen in other 1106 motors, but that should be less of an impact when it's in the air under a lighter load and with much better airflow.
