Turns is the number of times a wire is wrapped around the armature; winds is the number of strands the wire has. For example, you will see motors specified as "17T2"; this means the wire is wrapped seventeen times around the armature, and the wire is made of two strands. Assuming that everything else on the car is kept the same, a lower number of turns translates to a higher RPM. Winds deal with torque. In simplest terms, a single wind will give you generally more punch and a higher wind will give a progressively smoother pickup and a bit more top speed. Both winds and turns also affect run time
- higher number of turns and single wind will give you more run time.
