is there like a 40turn motor? i want something that can crawl and also have a decent speed n not be a slug...

Thanks!

Everything from 10 to 65, and if you don't like what he has to offer he'll wind up whatever you'd like.

JP Customs has some: http://www.jpcustomrcs.com/Motors.html

There are also companies that will build motors to whatever turn you want.

I had Brood make me up a couple of 40t armatures for some motors I already had. That's a bit more easy on the wallet if you already have a decent motor to use. Armatures will run you around $15-$25 each depending on the armature...whereas you could easily spend $40-$60 on a complete mod motor. It's not exactly the same as buying the whole mod motor since the motor would usually also have a better magnet setup and nicer endbell...but even with only the upgraded armature you get the added benefits that it has a trued comm and is hand wound. It'll be better than a machine wound and untrue comm.

Cool thanks 4 the info guys! how is the 40t motor? is it good at slow crawling n have decent speed? i want to get like 12mph?? out of it

go with a 35t on either 3cell or 4cell...thats what most people use..great low speed and can still spin the wheels really well..

holmeshobbies torque masters all the way.

I find 35t are the perfect balance for my rigs, shafty and MOA both. I only use Holmes motors as well

[hoghead5150]

i would like to know the same thing. what is the difference in the turns?

[joesbruiser]

I am running Holmes hobbies 40T motors and love them.
I also like the 45's on 4 cells from watching another competitors rig the last few comps.

Windings: The windings run the motor. In a nutshell the fewer turns you have the faster the motor will spin per volt (with less torque per amp drawn). For crawlers we use mostly high wind motors, but lower wind motors can be used with proper geardown. The downfall to lower wind motors is heat and lack of torque. In a rough bind a 35t 3 slot ceramic magged 540 motor can smoke itself with too much throttle. Not enough torque combined with stalling conditions create a lot of heat. This is why 50t-60t three slot ceramic magged motors are the most popular for general crawling- they do not overheat and they work with standard gearing like a pede tranny/ tlt axle will give. Handwound motors have more copper packed in. This increases the magnetic field density and increases the power of the motor. When the magnets or slot count change, the wind count changes to keep speed similar. The 10t Pullmaster or Cobalt Puller is similar in speed to a 45-50t Ceramic magged 3 slot motor.
