can i use this esc with a 55 turn integy motor
i recently came by a WK on ebay for 50 bucks it didnt have a motor or esc and i was wondering if i could use this esc http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGNG5 with a 55 turn motor. im a nitro person srry.

For future reference:
The esc description lists a motor limit of 15 turns (or 15t). This means you can run motors with 15 turns or more.

RE: can i use this esc with a 55 turn integy motor
I have a question and have always used hjigher voltage on higher turn motors to get same power BUT:
Would a 45 turn motor have more tork than 55 and 65 and 75 so on, WITH SAME VOLTAGE AND GEARS
How about when using same voltage and gearing so speed is same?

higher number = high torque
small numbers = less torque, more RPM
so 45 fast than 55 fast than 65...but less torque then 55 less torque than 65...
small numbers = less torque, more RPM

This one water proof with similar specs and price.

Ok, I think I understand the answer. Let's say I am at my lowest possible gearing and in addition to being a slower speed, a 65 turn motor would have more tork than a 35 turn motor in the identical chassis. I though pehaps the tork might drop off too, but I guess not.
If this is indeed the case then if the gearing was compensated to achieve identical top speeds (6 mph) then the two setups may perform nearly identical for power as well.

I could just as easily make a 55 turn lathe motor have as much or more torque than a 65 turn one by simply switching out the magnets with neodymium or by winding thicker wire gauge on the armature poles to reduce the electrical resistance thereby increasing the torque/per amp constant.
Number of turns is just a rough estimate, but should not be taken as the only rule the governs torque of the motor.

ORIGINAL: AS-EE
Not picking on you, but you have to be careful with that statement. Example is I have 3 Johnson 700 motors which use thick windings and their turns are lower than 55. Yet the torque is much higher than those lathe motors. Its many other factors other than the turns such as surface area of the armature poles, surface area of the magnets, electrical resistance, number of turns, and type of permanent magnets.
