Racing Remote Control Cars : Selecting the Proper RC Motor

Select the proper RC car motors by learning about turn numbers and how they relate to how RC cars; learn more tips on RC car motors in this free hobby video on remote control car racing. Expert: Robbie Contact: www.rchqonline.com Bio: Robbie has been Racing RC cars for 7 years. He has also owned and operated his store and RC track for 4 years. He is the head operator of all the races and there is a complete schedule on his website. Filmmaker: julio costilla

Just need a hard drive magnet or rare earth magnet. Just put your magnet on and find the sweet spot where it will run the fastest and highest rpm and torque. So it will work great on rc motors so no more spending money for mods or a new motor.

    do you think a ten year old can handel a lst xxl monster truck

  5. Rcksaltnnails says:

    Nope. The turns is how much wire is wrapped internally around the motor. The more turns you have, the more total wire is used. This gives you a bunch of torque but less speed. A high turn motor would work good in a big heavy truck, or something for climbing. The lower turn means the wire is much thicker(and therefore takes less wire to “fill” the motor) so it spins much faster. Good for lightweight smaller cars for all out speed.

  6. kyle5blue2 says:

    okay so if im correct the more turns is sollwer it is for example a 20 turn means it takes the moter to turn 20 times for the wheel to rotate a full 360 degrees around

  7. garyfromtheUK says:

    no you have to mach them together

  8. trxslashdriver says:

    if i were you i would get a 5000 stick or hump or whatever fits your car, and then i would get a 12 turn motor because its nice and solid… i would recommend the traxxas titan 550 twelve turn i have it in my slash and it will get off the ground trussst me

  9. ConceptZombie says:

    Great channel man.

  10. XTMRacer13 says:

    you can buy a lipo or a race pack that would give you alot more power, and see what the motor turn is for the speed control and then msg me back and i will tell u a better motor

  11. Jojojojof says:

    if u just buy a 6-turn speed control
    then couldn’t u just buy any motor
    cuz it won’t over heat it

  12. mightysigma says:

    hi was wondering if some 1 could help me i jus bought my boy a 2wd buggy.and i have 17 turn motor and 1500 stick..but i want it quite alot quicker and to last a bit longer.i know nothing about these.if i replace the stick with lets say 3000 to 4000 will it go faster or will it jus last longer? if so then what turn motor should i buy?

  13. 11Garrett says:

    does anybody know the turn rating is for a stock XTM X-cellerator Motor is?

  14. phattacorider says:

    In a brushless motor, there is a copper wire wound on the rotor, in three sides. Power goes into the cap and is connected to a brush, that makes contact with the rotor. The rotor is then electromagnetically charged and opposes the magnets in the can. A brushless motor is opposite, power goes into the can and feeds copper wire that lines the inside of the can. The rotor on a brushless motor usually has a neodymium magnet, creates a stronger opposition to the EMF for greater power.

  16. FlyingWeasel123 says:

    Brushless ones are interchangeable so that if it breaks, you just find a new part and swap it out. Hope that helped!xD

  17. chillygoat says:

    whats the difference between brushless and brush motor?

  18. Prence says:

    Then there is gearing to consider. A stock motor with a bigger pinion gear and smaller spur will give you faster speed. That is a cheaper upgrade opposed to just buying a new motor.

  19. Prence says:

    He failed to mention that if you try to put a 6 turn motor into a heavy RC, i/e a 4×4 truck like a Emaxx it’s going to slow your truck down. Or take longer to get to top speed. You want a motor with really good torque / speed ratio for a 4×4 truck like an emaxx. Where as if you put a high torque motor into a road car your more than likely going to spin the tires on take off and not got vary far very fast, that is until the car gets up to speed.

  20. lbennyn says:

    Are you referring to a nitro engine or a electric motor?
    If you are referring to a nitro engine, it depends what car/truck its in and what make it is and what fuel you are running it on.
    If you are referring to a electric brushed motor, it depends on what car you have and what batteries you have. As he said, the brushed motors go down to about a 6turn limit, so compared to a six turn a 21 will not be very fast.
    Ben

  21. chillygoat says:

    so is a .21 motor not very fast? is is powerful?

  22. traxxasrockhead says:

    i think any 1/10 scale brushed or bushless motor will work.

  23. austinleet says:

    Extremely helpful, thanks Robby!

  24. steezums1 says:

    cool

  25. 2007church says:

    i have a tamiya subaru brat with a brush motor is there any good upgradable motor for it

  26. southerncountry1991 says:

    that magnet may make it run faster, if u keep it on the motor long enought it will discharge the magnets in side the motor and then u have no motor,

    just keep that in mind

  27. pyronathanpyro says:

    it will run slowlyly in other direction thow and you may burn the motor out and brushes quicker

  28. justmarinus says:

    cool, gonna do this on all my rc boats =D

  29. waterstream1 says:

    cock, lol loser

  30. soverato3 says:

    a starter for a cox enginethats lest then 2cc ???/ hahahhahhahahahhhaha

  31. M4sk3dC4sp3r says:

    you sound like yuandrew related?

  32. rockhopperz93xeedmax says:

    @USAF2LT –yeah..not all there but he’s learnin LOL!!! I remember when I was 8 I used to do the same sheit!! WOW MA LOOKY …….keep it up kid!! im now a rocket man haha NOT

  33. jpvproductions74415 says:

    Sure it makes the motor spin faster, but you’re just gonna burn up you’re motor twice as fast. It was designed to run at a certain voltage and speed, altering either has adverse effects after a certain amount of time.

  34. briggsandclones says:

    HAY 30GB :D Smart idea! (:

  35. Del350K4 says:

    He said “starter for my Cox 0.49″, in fact. It was a deservedly popular 0.8cc nitro motor with an integral fuel tank and a curious cylinder head with integral glo plug and a unique retention method. But I´m sure sonicboomracing knew that all along : )

  36. Del350K4 says:

    Anyone know how this works?

  37. MaxBeejax says:

    Heh Awesome!

  38. lastpally says:

    @lastpally Also not the mention you’re messing with the timing the magnetic field produces. Advancing the timing inc rpm but also lowers torque, inc heat and decreases efficiency. If you want more torque(seeing it’s use to start the plane) get a higher turn motor or figure out how attach a torque sleeve.

  39. lastpally says:

    You cannot measure a motors true power while it’s unloaded. It may sound like its rpms are higher but what’s you’re doing is causing a uneven magnetic field inside the can. Which at high rpm underload will cause the armature to wobble. Eventually you will have motor failure.

  40. 30GB says:

    @sonicboomracing its for a small engine, cock

  41. sonicboomracing says:

    STARTER FOR MY COCK HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  42. USAF2LT says:

    Dumb ass

  43. 30GB says:

    @omega3677 i dont really know but you can try plus i dont have the stuff to measure the rpms unless i have a photo diode and some other stuff to test it or maby buy a rpm reader device

  44. omega3677 says:

    Did you ever measure the speed difference with a laser tach? Do you think this mod will work on a dewalt 12v motor?

  45. madde78273 says:

    @timbulb Haha(sarcasim) its cox dumb ass!!!

  46. jlsracer8 says:

    anyone here know how to get more power out of a standard brushed motor ? besides added a big magnet??
    thanks!
    anyone help!

  47. adamcharles123456789 says:

    maybe put another magnet on the other side to balance out the load on the armature

  48. timbulb says:

    “Made this starter for my cocks”…. hahaha

  49. albertobassig says:

    lol your thumb :D its like your left thumb is broken

  50. 7BEYONET7 says:

    it may increase speed, but you are killing your battery life
