Which motor is the best?

[beetleman]

Hi,

I have a Blitzer beetle with a stock 540 motor, which I would like to replace with something more powerful. The manual recommends the Sports-tuned Mabuchi motor. However, I am greedy and would like more power. On the other hand, I understand that over-powering the car may destroy the gears and damage the the TEU-101BK speed controller.

What is the strongest motor that I can use with this setup?

Also, what does "T" or "Turn" mean when describing a motor? For example 23T motor, etc. I understand that the smaller this figure, the more powerful the engine? Is there anywhere in this site (or the Web) that compares electric car engines and motor-esc setups?

Thank you in advance,

Beetleman

I would advise a sport tuned for bashing as they are superb for torque, give long run times and are like old merc engines - Bomb proof.

If ure desperate for more rpm then a gt tuned motor would be your best option - with more advanced timing and replaceable brushes that are softer it does rev higher - tho be prepared for more work and as with all rebuildable motors they dont like getting dirty.
