4 What would be the difference between the Emax MT2204 2300kv and the RS2204 2300kv?
Am I right to say these RS2205 have a higher motor bell, and therefore can supply more Thrust?

2 I tried out the mt2205 on my ZMR and just installed the RS2205 to compare with. The mt2205 performs even better than the RotorGeeks or Cobras I previously had on them. I just tried some basic hover and vertical thrust tests with the rs2205 and there is a slight increase in thrust from the MT series. Very impressed with Emax's latest work. I hated there older motors but these 2 models are both equally impressive. The rs2205 does drain the battery q bit quicker due to the increased thrust/amp draw.
Both of these motors weigh just under 30 grams compared to rg and cobra 27g.
bench tests show quite a difference but its not super noticeable in the air. I was only running 5045bn so maybe it'd be different with 6045 triblades

139 yeah there is a difference between static thrust testing and dynamic flight... Static thrust testing it good to be able to baseline on performance, but in the end dynamic flight test is the true determination. Unfortunately you can't test dynamic on a bench and measure it properly.

1 I don't really think the emax rs2205 are hyped. There have been positive reports on build and reliability, and substantial thrust test results better than almost all competition at an affordable price. If they were hyped, the reports and thrust tests would be exaggerated. I haven't seen that. Perhaps a more accurate word is 'popular', as a lot of people are buying them for these reasons.
Don't get me wrong guys,... I am not a sold out, and I had a good run with my Cobra's...for many people these were the Go-To motors for a long time. I just feel they're not keeping up with other manufacturers in respect to innovation. And a bit more quality control couldn't hurt either.
