Motor for XV-01 using hw quick run 1060

Recommended Posts

Hello, can anyone help with motor choice for a xv 01 kit? I do not understand the symbols in the HW 1060 manual.

I am going to use 7.2 nimh packs and want a good performance brush motor,not sure if the kit motor will be ok.

Suggestions please?

The silver kit motor is 27turns. The less turns a motor has, the faster and more powerful it is. WP-1060 brushed can handle down to a 12turn motor on a 7.2V battery. Depends what your definition of 'good performance' is as to if the kit motor will be adequate. A 12T is quite fast for most people - I would try the kit motor first, then upgrade later if you feel the need for more power.

My base line for brushed, is a 15t HPI firebolt with a 1060 esc. I was getting them for around £7 each new.

Those motors look to be harder to get, since HPI went into administration earlier in the year, but the new, Core Rc motors by Schumacher look very very similar....🤔
