[CADA] CADA General Discussion Topic
This topic can be used to showcase your CADA model/set as well as discuss it.
PLEASE NOTE: We don’t endorse other brands on the Technic forum, although we are making an exception for this topic only, since our members have created some awesome models with this brand.
Rules:
CADA only, no other brands at this point.
This is the only CADA topic for the Technic forum, and each CADA model belongs here, so no opening a new topic for a new CADA model.
Do not use this topic solely to promote your CADA set/instructions. Instead, use this topic to create a nice presentation of your CADA model. You can include a small link to the store. All presentations and discussions should be done here.

I guess the discussion about the new CaDA motors rather belongs to this topic as reference, so let´s discuss it here.
I´m sorry I have no deeper background as expert or engineer. In general one can safely say that CaDA buggy motors are stronger, spinning faster than Lego motors, which has its advantages and downsides. Surely they are noisier which is kinda logical. IMHO there are no sources reliable to 100%, but I´ll try to explain. There are variables such as voltage and load/resistance which are unknown in some declarations. First we have Philo´s homepage as a good source when it comes to all kind of Lego motors characteristics. Then there is Sariel´s gear calculator where you can see theoretical output values of different gear redactions combined with the Lego motors. Before the update there were different rpm data related to 7V and 9V which is a significant difference, now we have only 9V for comparison. When it comes to the CaDA motors, we have the data from the set C64053W where they are being used. I´ve had written down the exact rpm from a different source some time ago, but don´t remember where it was, so I have no reference. It would be nice to have an independent comparison together with the BuWizz characteristics added as well. I have preliminaryly summarized my collected data as following, maybe it can serve as some orientation anyway:
