What does 12T mean on RC motors?

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 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.

Does more turns mean more torque?

The higher the number of turns greater is the torque generated and hence greater is the power delivered. However that also means less RPM rating for your rc car electric motor. Generally less turns are preferred for making the rc car run faster.

Is a lower Kv motor faster?

The kV rating is the RPM of the motor with no load, not the kilo-volt. A motor that has a higher kV will have more top end speed, but not as much Torque. A motor with a lower kV will have more power and will accelerate faster.

How many Kv is a 13.5 motor?

That chart, a few posts up, is probably at the far end of maximum Kv rating scale. I have some 13.5T, and 17.5T motors that have some very different Kv “numbers” associated with them when compared to the chart, e.g., my mild 13.5T is said to be a 2550Kv motor, and one of my 17.5T motors is said to be 2250Kv.

What does the T mean on RC Motors?

The “T” stands for turns. This is the number of times the wire inside the motor is wrapped around the stator. A smaller number of turns typically equals less resistance, and more power. A higher number typically means more resistance, and less power.

Is the Titan 12T 550 brushed or brushless?

This Traxxas Titan 12T 550 size brushed motor is designed for a high power output, with virtually maintenance-free operation and long-lasting performance.

How can I make my brushed motor faster?

Sealed endbell motors need a lot of running to break in their hard compound brushes. Running it partially submerged in water helps break them in faster. Water dipping is a trick old-school guys used to break in their motors, but it would also help clean your brushed motors.

Do higher Kv motors run hotter?

Also, if you over gear the low KV motor, it will also start to pull bigger amps, and you get heat. Everything is a compromise. Two motors, same can size, with the same gearing and the same batteries, the higher KV motor will run hotter, because it pulls more amps spins faster*.

Does more Kv mean more torque?

Kv allows you to get a handle on the torque that can be expected from a particular motor. Torque is determined by the number of winds on the armature and the strength of the magnets. A low Kv motor has more winds of thinner wire—it will carry more volts at fewer amps, produce higher torque, and swing a bigger prop.

What’s the fastest RC motor?

Well, according to the online buyer’s guide from Android Central, “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.”
