OH !!! Good to have a discussion thread for DC motor here.
We have tried DC 10T RPM motor and it is REALLY REALLY good. Very Good Balanced !!

We have been long waiting for such good motors available for a consumer like me !!

Again Thanks !

Can you tell how should I select RPM or Torque Motors ?? I see both available in the shop. My 10T is RPM but I see also 7T labelled with Torque.

Hey Curtis. Very happy with my DC's as well. They are just gorgeous.... and they LOOK quick! Then I put it down on the track..... wow!!

Very happy with the 3 motors and 2 arms I got from you

These are the inherit characteristics that set apart the Torque and RPM type motors…

Torque:
Torque motors deliver good power through the entire power-band, with a torque cure that well suites almost any application. Torque motors will run cooler and more efficient than the RPM type motors, resulting in lower brush and commutator wear. The added efficiency of these motors will extend battery runtime, generally 15-30 seconds more runtime over the RPM type motors, this in turn helps to make these motors easier to gear and tune….A great choice for all applications.

RPM:
RPM motors deliver smooth bottom end power-band and offer outstanding mid-range and top-end performance, when properly tuned these motors will make more power than the Torque type motors, and are defiantly suited for larger tracks. RPM motors will run hotter and less efficient than Torque motors. High brush and commutator wear along with decreased battery run time are adverse side effects of making more power. These motors because of their decreased efficiency and tendency to run hotter will always be more difficult to fine tune and gear.



For Touring Cars if your running anything above a 9 turn I would recommend that the RPM type motor/armatures be used for this application, as these motors will make more power than the torque type motors/armatures (if you compare the same winds i.e. 10x2 RPM to a 10x2 Torque type)….Hope this helps

Glad to hear you’re happy with the motors and arms...

Our Ultra-Light armatures features a milled grove down the center of the armatures stack. This help to increase acceleration while also providing more RPM’s. Ultra-Light armatures are available in winds from 7-13 turns, singles and doubles (custome wind avalible upon request). All UL armatures are wound on the torque type (5mm) armature blank…

.... You haven't went fast until you've ran an Ultra-Light armature…....

SWEET!

Curtis....what is the turn around time for an armature?

just looking for something for club racing..saving better motors for the nats

Curtis Schlaht

Just to be safe I tell people in can take up to 3 days, but arms usually ship in 2 days…..
