What does 12T mean on a brushed motor?
A 12T double would use two wires wound twelve times and a 12T single a single thicker wire wound twelve times around each rotor pole. A low turn single will be best for HIGH RPM and a higher turn triple or quad have higher TORQUE over its RPM range.
How fast is a brushed motor?
Typically the maximum speed of brush motors is 20,000 RPM, but in this range, electrical and mechanical wear sharply increases, greatly reducing service life. In practice, brush motors tend to be run below 10,000 RPM.
What do the turns on a brushed motor mean?
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. The turn rating is inversely proportional to the power generated by the motor.
What motor is in the Traxxas XO 1?
The $1100 XO-1 is complete out of the box, including a Traxxas/Castle brushless-electric motor called the Big Block. It generates 3.5 horsepower and can spin to 40,000 rpm.
What is the fastest RC brushed motor?
“The Traxxas XO-1 is the fastest RC car, full stop. The largest brushless motor on offer propels the car from 1 to 60 in 2.5 seconds. Not only is this car stylish, but it also reaches speeds over 100 miles per hour.”
Are brushless motors faster than brushed motors?
Yes. They are more efficient and will run longer.
Are brushless motors faster than brushed?
What should gear ratio be for brushless motor?
Stock gearing compatible with brushless and brushed motors using stock tire sizes. Brushed motors will require gearing down if increasing wheel and tire size. *5.6:1 pinion to spur ratio (or even lower gearing) advised to prevent overheating for brushed motors.
What makes a BLDC motor a brushless motor?
With permanent magnets which rotate within a fixed armature, the BLDC motors features a brushless commutation design for long lasting performance. BLDC Motors with Speed Controller feature integrated drive electronics and sensor-less electronic commutation.
Can a brushless brushless motor break a lipo?
It is not overly powerful on 2 or 3s LiPo and is less likely to break parts. Faster (lower) turn counts, Pro series brushed motors, and brushless motors can break parts more easily. Beware of the power!
Which is the best tooth spur for a brushless motor?
Example: 15 tooth pinion and 84 tooth spur *11 tooth pinion / 68 tooth spur advised for brushed motors to prevent overheating. Stock gearing compatible with brushless motors.
