Default RE: 05 motor ?

Way back in the early electric RC car racing days, they picked a common sized motor. It was called a 05 can. Originally, 05 meant it had the approximate power of a .05 nitro powered engine.

I have one newer 05 that can pull 45amps. @ 12 volts for 5 to 10 second bursts. You can not turn the shaft with your fingers because of the magnets.
