There's a big difference in weight between the two motors the G160 is 35% lighter for the same power. Mind you it has a higher KV 290 instead of 190 but that, understandably means, just a different prop. The difference in weight is 7.8 ounces, about half a pound and it's right up the front of the buss too.
The thing is with the G160 you need to do a little bit of work on it to make it handle 12S. It requires grouting with silica filled epoxy between the magnets and carefull balancing to get the rotor just right. Once that's done they are simply a power house. I've got two done that way now and they are e very successfull
