Ok call me stupid but could you explain the Motor turn thing

[Jay61076]

So I’m used to the idea of a motor
drawing a current and the speed control needing to able to cope with that
current e.g. model boat using 5a at the motor but speed control being able to
run up to 15a

So what is with car esc correct me
if I’m wrong but the less turn the controller can cope with basically means the
more amps it can cope?

So as a bench mark how many turn
is a normal 540 in say a TT01 chassis

 

Thanks in advance ( and please be
gentle) [:$]

IIRC 540 motors are 27 turn.

[Jay61076]

So let me see if I have this right

TXT-1 should have 2 27turn motors as supplied
with kit running then of one battery would make them equivalent to a 13.5turn

So a speed control rated down to
12 or below should be fine?

 

 

I assume the amp rating of the
battery is little concern as that equates more to run time?

[rhenbelz]

Correct, though a 15-turn ESC should handle them fine also. Amp rating really isn't an issue until you go brushless, unless you are talking about capacity (mAh) which is runtime.

Excellent new I was think in place
of buying a few small ESC’s for thing I would be better investing in one high
spec unit that will work for loads

 

So I’ll probably just get something that has as low a turn limit as I can
afford I’ve seen the MTRONIKS SONIK4 SPORT RV MAX ESC and its rated down
to 8 turn so should cope with my stuff and won’t brake the bank

TXT-1

Ford
Aeromax

F350

Thanks
