Motor questions

[stanmart]

Maybe you guys can help me out. Im running an old Traid 9 turn motor in my beetle. Its not too bad speed wise but its a pretty old motor. It has terrible run times. Runs the battery pack out in about 4 minutes maybe less. Do these newer electric motors have better run times? Guy at the LHS said the new motors are much faster then the old ones. I want a fast motor with decent run times. Im thinking a new 11 turn maybe. If you guys could steer me to a good modified motor id apprecaite it.

Which Beetle? Blitzer, Monster, M02, Scorcher? In any case still anything less then a good 17T is too powerfull for the car, the guy at the shop is right, get a good 17-19T modern motor and it may go even even faster (as it won't be immensly overgeared like a 9T would be) and battery consumption and car wear would significantly go down.

Cheers

Im in full agreement with Theo. Shoot for a 15 to 17 or higher single or double with bearings
