Default Re: Brushless motor and ESC

i read on here alot about how many turns the motors are but i dont understand is a 65 turn stronger than a 55 turn motor

As far as brushed motors go, the more turns you have, the more torque that motor will make, but it will also spin slower, and consume less current, which relates to longer runtimes. So a 65 turn motor should be more powerful then a 55 turn motor, but sometimes that's not always the case. Motors that are mass produced and machine wound have some variables. No two motors are identical and sometimes you get a ringer. One that seems to have more power then another. The most torquey motors are those that are hand wound by a person. A hand wound 55 turn motor will probably have more torque then a machine wound 65 turn motor. The difference is hand wound motors have tighter wraps, and the tighter the winds are, the more efficient the motor is too. Performance increases all across the board. Motors with fewer turns are high horsepower motors, but they need to spin fast to make the power, and they consume more current.

Brushless motors are totally different animals. Best to stick to the Kv ratings to determine the speeds they will run, on any given voltage. Just about any good brushless motor, designed for rock crawling, will work good for a scale semi truck too.
