Default MORE TURNS=MORE SPEED

lest turn = more speed
more turn = less speed
is size matter? i don't think so, as long you know how to use it
and it's not what you got but the way you use it.

see you in the finish line

the higher the turn slower the motor. The lower turn the faster the motor.

Why has no one indicated this?:

370 and 540 motors are different sized...so they won't interchange... unless I have gone senile.

what scale are you looking at? 1/10 are usually 540 sized motors.

4200s would fry a 370 motor, the endbell would probably fall off in dispair

wait dudes,

lower turn = higher speed but less torque
higher turn = lower speed but greater torque

mostly high turn motors are used for drifting and off-road
