How does a brushed motor work?
When you look inside the brushed motor you see copper wire rapped around a center core that spins. Each section of the core that has wire on it has a certain number of wire turns. The number of turns increases or decreases the rpm of the motor when spinning freely at any given voltage.
Which motors break parts the most easily?
Faster (lower) turn counts, Pro series brushed motors, and brushless motors can break parts more easily. Beware of the power! Below is a list of motor turn counts and speeds.
What size gearing do I need for my brushless motor?
Stock gearing compatible with brushless and 550 size brushed motors. 540 size brushed motors may require gearing down, especially if increasing wheel and tire size. *540 size brushed motors will need to have motor temperatures closely monitored when using 2nd gear.
How does the number of turns affect the RPM of motor?
The number of turns increases or decreases the rpm of the motor when spinning freely at any given voltage. Car guys say things such as 10T motor; 10 winds around the stator arm..each motor core has so many stator arms at least 3 in most cases. You can google for pics of the inside view of a 2 phase/ 2 brushes ... brushed DC motor.
What do the turns mean on a brushed motor?
The number of turns indicates how much wire is wrapped inside the motor. A higher turn number means more wire and thus more resistance, resulting in a slower motor. So turns with a lower number means a faster motor.
How many KV is a 8.5 turn motor?
A 5000 KV motor is a 5000 KV motor. A Novak 8.5 "turn" is rated at 5000 KV but another manufactures 8.5 may be different as most do not post their KV rating.
How long do brushed RC motors last?
1,000 to 3,000 hoursBrushed motor life is limited by the brush type and can attain 1,000 to 3,000 hours on average, while brushless motors can attain tens of thousands of hours on average, as there are no brushes to wear. The limiting factor is the wear on the bearings.
What turn is a 3300kV motor?
3300kV is closer to 13.5 in most situations, apples for apples. Another big diff in motor kv ratings - some test motor kv unloaded and some test with the motors loaded and not all of them will tell you which method you're looking at.
How many turns is a Velineon 3500?
The Velineon 3500 motor is a 10-turn, 3500 kV motor optimized for the best speed and efficiency in lightweight 1/10 scale models.
How many turns is a 3800kv motor?
1 turn. Location: RIP 'Chopper', 4/18/13 miss you bud:( Why do you want to know? Kv rated motors don't relate to motors rated in turns.
How many hours a motor can run continuously?
However you need to regularly check for mechanical degradation because of wear and tear. If it not rated S1 then it can only run 4 hours or less due to thermal overload. Some motors have thermal overload protection and will automatically stop when the temperature is high. I hope this helps.
Do you need to break in a brushed RC motor?
Water is abrasive and accelerates the wear of the brushes and the comm surface, essentially taking life away from your new motor very quickly. Our motors don't really require a break-in before use, but you can run them on low voltage (4-6V) for a minute or two both directions to seat the brushes.
Can you run a LiPo battery on a brushed motor?
If it is a stock motor then a LiPo pack could be used but it would need to be a 2-cell 7.4 volt pack. If a 3-cell pack 11.1 volt pack is used it will quickly burn out the motor. The 2-cell LiPo pack will have a higher voltage than the stock NiMh pack and it will shorten the life of the motor over time.
How many turns is a standard 540 motor?
Tamiya RS-540 Sport Tuned MotorManufacturerTamiyaPart Number53068EAN4950344530687Motor Turns (Brushed)OtherBore3.2mm3 more rows
What does 12T mean on a brushed motor?
A 12 turn motor will be tons faster and will drain a battery faster . Just as he said. a twelve turn motor will have more RPM, less torque, and draw more current. The number or turns refers toi the number of times the wire is warpped around your armature in the motor.
How many RPM is a Titan 12T?
The best guess on the motor rpm's for the Titan 12 turn motor would be 15000 to 18000 ranges running on an 8.4 volt battery.

What temperature should a motor be?
Don’t let your motor temperature get over 160°F (70°C) for best motor life! When in need of more speed, volt up and gear down instead of increasing the pinion size.
Do brushed motors require gearing down?
Brushed motors will require gearing down if increasing wheel and tire size.
Back again!!
So i can run 21T motors on my 19T ESC without any damage? in other words i can go up but not down on turns?............
Is there a chart for this kind of ratings somewhere.....?
It would be nice to have one handy,specially for someone like me,still new to the hobby.I have already bought couple of brushed esc`s for future projects and would like to know how to rate them,..Thanks again Nick!!,...........Albert/karfrik
turns in a brushed motor
You mention a 40" abs hull with gears and twin 19t motors. I wish you good luck in your hunt. I suggested an option but sounds like you want to keep things original as they were.
Is a 55-80 turn motor faster?
the lower number of turns or wraps on the armiture the less resistance making it a faster motor.. 55-80 turn motors are slower.. lathe motors...
Is a 45T battery faster than a 27T battery?
A 45t motor with a two cell lipo battery will be slower and have more torque than a 27t motor on the same battery. But, a 45t motor on a three cell lipo battery will be almost as fast as the 27t with the two cell. Remember, sometimes torque gets you over obstacles and some times wheel speed gets you over obstacles.
