Great information Foxy.

It took me a little time to figure out the differences in old style Turn Motors and newer Brushless motors. I had to do a lot of reading before I understood the conversion and your post helps to educate me further.

I just started to run Brushless motors this last year in my RC10T4 and 2 RC10B4s all three were SE editions with the Reedy 15 Turn motors.

I installed a Duratrax branded Castle Creations ESC and 3900Kv motor in each of these 3 R/Cs along with running Venom 7.4v 5000 40C battery packs than can get about 40 minutes of run time out of this setup. From my understanding this setup is around a 11.5 Turn motor and these went from about 25 mph to close to 35 to 40 Mph after I performed the conversions. Crazy fast and fun than almost uncontrollable if I attempt full throttle generally can only hit about half throttle on the longest straight. Keep telling myself to gear them down with smaller Pinion Gears but never do. [img][/img]

Here is a good link for you guys to help you understand more [img][/img]

As arrogant as it may sound, I'd rather people listened to me than RC Car Action on the vast majority of topics.
