Horizon as a company has been a pleasure to deal with. Bought Axial Jeep JLU in late Nov 2020 and it had a faulty servo on the DIG function. I live in Canada and Horizon warranty the servo on my word telling them. Shipped prepaid and arrived in less than two weeks. This video is very helpful when being bombarded with what's available to buy for aftermarket motors. So Thanks for making these videos.
I felt the need to put this out there, the reason for 3 wires vs 2 wires on BL vs B is more so due to the commutation. A brushless esc needs to have an electronic commutator inside rather than the physical of the brushed.
OUTSTANDING video! Very informative. I fly quads and am moving up to brushless motors so even tho you were talking about RC vehicles, it still translated well into how it would apply to quad multi-rotors. Many thanks for a great video.
Your knowledge on this topic is awesome. Really appreciate you taking the late nights opening and playing with different motors. Takes a lot of patience, and a very cool wife if u know what I mean. I have to sneak my RC time in. And everyone knows that once u sit down and Start dissecting for hours without noticing
It is specific to each motor honestly. Most high-performance brushed motors aren't being produced any longer as most of these manufacturers have moved to brushless technology.
I understand what you are saying. With any "sealed endbell" motor there is the opportunity to "pop" the endbell off by applying enough pressure to the tabs to make them spread. This motor is not designed to have the timing adjusted once it has been assembled.
That was an excellent video, it really cleared up the whole Brushless motor technology for me.... Now, to learn about lithium batteries and esc for brushless. This is what I get for 3 years out of the hobby haha
Very good video. Very informative. I learned alot since I took my team Losi buggy and my Traxus truck out of the closet after years of storage. I have watched alot of your videos and learned what's in and what's out. Thank You.
Let us make this even more clear: A brushed motor runs the current though the armature making it electromagnetic that interacts with the permanent magnets in the shell of the motor. A brushless motor has a rotor with permanent magnets and runs the current in the shell making it electromagnetic that interacts with the rotor.
All depends on if you want to go brushed or brushless. I've heard very good things about systems from Novak and Tekin in both brushed and brushless. The Timbuk2 from Novak is quite popular for an ESC along with their 21.5T or 18.5T motors.
Awesome vid! Helped me understand electric motors a bit more. I'm a nitro guy, but i'm willing to try to understand the other side of rc. Lol, good job sir!
Brushless motors do NOT run on AC, they are DC that is pulsed to different sets of coils. They basically replace the commutator. The basics are the same, Electricity runs through the coil's creating a magnetic field and repel or attract to the permanent magnet that is part of the rotor. The coils are labeled A,B,C and the electricity gets flowed from A-B, then B-C, then C-A and repeat in a circle . Sensored brushless motors have Hall Effect sensors (usually 3) that tell the Electronic speed controller (esc) what the orientation of the rotor is currently in so the ESC knows which set of coils to apply current to.
if you listened he said they basically work on AC, which is true. even though it is technically DC, a waveform that is basically a modified sine wave with a bunch of PWM is what an ESC sends a brushless motor.
Thank you, this video was very helpful in knowing the difference between brush and brushless motors. Plus I couldn't remember if more or less turns on a brush motor made it faster or slower. Very good info for RC car motors.
I think a better way to explain brushless vs brushed is that a brushed motor uses a mechanical switch to change polarity and a brushless motor uses a computer and solid state electronics to do it. It's like mechanical fuel injection vs electronic fuel injection, the real benefit comes from being able to adjust timings without physical changes to the motor and having less resistance from mechanical parts.
Kv-A rating of performance for brushless motors. While Kv ratings are occasionally applied to sensored motors, sensorless brushless motors are almost always rated by Kv. The higher the Kv rating of a motor the faster it will be. Kv refers to the number of RPM a motor will produce for each volt of power input to it For example a 1,000Kv motor would produce roughly 7,400 RPM at 7.4 volts.
Almost all electric motors are ac (stepper motors excluded) - in other words the current must somehow be switched in direction every half cycle if dc is applied. In the so-called dc motor this is achieved by the commutator, which reverses the current flow. A brushed ac supplied motor uses slip rings to get the current to the armature. Great channel, thanks
great video. now comes the next question. how do you choose which gear ratio is correct? esc temp, motor temp? i run a slash on oval. Last season I was so under geared my motor was barely warm after races. well i changed a few things. looks like 120-170 is about the temp range im goung to run in.
hi... great video. Do you know how those copper "springs" holding the carbon brushes are called? I need to replace one and all carbon/brushes I see are a variation of a coil/wire and the carbon itself. Never the tiny copper arms pushing the carbons.Thanks!
maybe I missed it but I didn't see anything in this video about using brushed motors for RC crawling. Censored brushless motors do have use in crawling but top competitors still use brushed for lower end torque and slow speed control.
Anything besides a 27T brushed motor is considered "Modified". It refers to the racing class the motor is legal to race in. A 13-double is going to push the limits on that ESC but you should be ok.
Its Lucky If it's able to be swapped for BL, you need a 540 sized motor, which is designated "3650", 36mm diameter, 50mm long. Then pick a KV rating of 2500 to 4000, and make sure its rated at least for a 3S LIPO. Get a cheap kit from eBay and give it a try. They start around $40. A LIPO battery with the right connector is needed too. 2200mah 3S with 25C should be a good starter pack. You can always go to your hobby shop if there's one near and ask. The one near me is awesome.
Very informative video for someone like myself who just decided a few days ago to buy a car after about 1 day of research. I'm a beginner and I want my son to enjoy it with me but dont want a car going too fast but I also want to know how to upgrade when time comes.
That is a very informative and nicely explained video. I attempted to do a video not to dissimilar to this a little while back and while I did have a lot of the basic right I wasnt able to go nearly as in depth as you guys did here mostly because I have very little experience with brushed motors.
thank you for your vide.,it is very informative.I use to race rc 10s with my dad back in the mid 80s I am thinking of getting back into the game.and thgis video is very helpful as far as info on dif motors..thank you again.very nice video.keep up the good work.
motors are a fun hobby in themselves. the sealed 540 motors can be safely opened and if you know what you're doing you can easily change the windings with bigger gauge laminated wire without soldering and have some cheap fun. if you can find small bearings with the right I.D/O.D diameters then you fit them on the front and end race. got 15t and 10t motors in sealed cans with a double 10t in the making all running off a tekin G9. mabuchi and johnson motors can easily be found next to nothing for rebuild or spare bushes. have fun :)
Will a higher turn number work better for larger tires in terms of overheating? I’m still running the original 20t in my ECX Amp MT and stock tires on 2s expecting it to fail, but it seems to not overheat like my 12T Arrma brushed on 2s does.
Depends on the size of the motor quite honestly. There are brushless motors for 1/5-scale vehicles that will blow away the power of those for 1/10-scales. Generally the fastest I've seen for 1/10-scale are the 2-4T motors. Crazy fast!
No argument there, however in terms of RC getting a working and reliable brushless system was a pretty big breakthrough and advancement. You can go back to the days after Nikola Tesla and see the groundwork laid there.
Yes and no. A 550 Motor is a slightly longer version of the 540 motor, capable of delivering more torque and power without suffering from power loss. 550 motors tend to be less susceptible to damage from heat, overgearing or other similar issues. Now there are 540 motors that can be used in 4WD SCTs that have the best of both worlds, less weight and exceptional torque.
So if a modified speed controller can be made to convert the dc battery to 3 phase A/c, would that benefit the hobby and make the motors more efficient. Thus giving more flight time?
Thanks for the info! I needed to know how fast in terms of mph speed w 20 turn and under to say a 10 turn brushed motor and 3400kv -7500kv bless in turns of mph? For example getting 40mph you’d need or equals to a 15turn motor etc... thanks!
In dynamite 20t shown in 2:11 same as saturn 20t we can change timming settings by turning the endbell. But there are only thre position of that setting, you can see it above negative lead connection to the motor 1:02.
I wanted to get some info about the numbers on a brushless. I just purcahsed a Maverick Strada with brushed mm22 540 , and wondering about upgrading it by time. I am new to RC, saw LiPO doing magic, even more with the brushless motors. Do you have any suggestions for a descent upgrade? Ps... i loved your battery video, thanks a lot!!!
Thank you very much for the info!!! Would a 10T ESC been better for this 13-double? I wouldn't want the ESC to fry..... BTW, I absolutely love your videos!
What kind of motor do you think would be the best for the Losi night crawler? I was trying to give it a little more speed but also try to make it keep its torque. so if you can could you please suggest a type of motor or a certain turn for it? Thanks for the help.
I've built my own bldc motor and am trying to figure out what bldc speed controller would be appropriate. First thing, the motor is axial flux. The rotor has 12 poles (6 pole pairs). The stator has three coils wound with 16 gauge wire. The winding are a falharbor type winding with 4 turns (roughly 76 inches of wire in total per coil) adapted to an axial flux design. The stator has a slotless iron backing made from coiled steel banding to reduce the magnetic reluctance. Most radial flux bldc designs use 3 coils and two poles. I wonder if 12 pole 4 falharbor serpentine like turns would be roughly equlivent to 24 turns or something else on some of the more standard motors. I tried to run it on a cheap bldc controller. The bldc controllers lowest setting drew .6 amp from a 13.4v lead acid battery. That's about 8 watts. At that lowest setting the controller supplied 1.49vac, and if we assumed 100% efficent transfer of 8 watts 100% meant the coils were pulling 5.37 amps. When the motor was turned by a by a drill at 211 rpms, it generated 0.126vac. During testing the cheap chinese controller blew a couple mosfets. But ill try to answer any other questions. I might redo the stator with 5 turns on each coil. But there is not much hope for more turns..
I have used a giant brush less motor for giant scale rc planes One of them would cut out at high throttle and let out a terrible squeal when it did But throttle back and it reset and goes again. There was no over draw in amps and was using the correct voltage The lipos can deliver more then twice what the amp meter showed as being used. My question for you is How important is switching frequency and how likely is that to have been the cause of this?
The fastest that we're going to have is the Formula Pro BB Modified 12T,Double by Team Orion USA (ORI22035). Unfortunately just about all high-performance motor developers have abandoned brushed technology for brushless.
Hi there i like ur video yea i would like to put maybe 1 of these motors on my bicycle like a brushless motor i kinda want my bike to go ya know so im trying to find the motor that will work for me i kinda want my bike to go good so what would u think any ideas ty again
nice instuctional video". i have one question out of curiosity because i think i mest my motor up yeterday. i was crawling with my 20t motor doing rock climbing and i guess since the coils on this motor are thicker that maybe thats why its over heating?? i got the motor so hot it was smoking from burming the label off of the motor, i than let it cool down and when i tried to play with it it still worked but the power was almost reduced by 3/4, so im guessing is this due to the magents loosing magnetism because the motor got the magents so hot?? cuz ive heated up a magnet when i was a little kid and remember the heat made the magnet weaker so was just wonderin if thats most likely the cause of the motor acting this way, please let me know what you think.
Two questions, for those brushless, and brushed motors, what was the awg wire size and for the brushless, were those magnets specially magnetized or the basic diametric.
Its not better as much as its just different. A smaller pinion will give you less top speed but better acceleration. A bigger pinion will give you more top speed but cost you acceleration. For running on a track going to a smaller pinion could make you "faster" as the motor may not have to work as hard to clear obstacles or to get out of a corner. For just running in a driveway, open lot or parking lot a bigger pinion will yield higher top speeds.
what is the power output of these brushed motors? I would like to use some brushed motors on some of my new motors, but I cannot find the power ratings of the brushed motors like I can find for the brushless motors. I know the brushed motors can accept a wide range of voltages, but I would like to at least know a range of voltages and operating powers acceptable for these motors. Thanks
I'm currently making an rc boat to compete in a local homemade rc boat race. so my question is, for rc boats which one do you need the most? torque or rpm?. does installing a gear ratio to fasten the rpm of the propeller from the motor ruin the motor?. Thanks, your respond would be greatly appreciated. (sorry for my English btw, I'm Indonesian so English is like my 3rd language)

with a spinning shell/can??
brushless motor doesnt has brush and run on 3phace ac current
correct your scentence

And tonight i have learned the difference between 550 and 540 thank you so much
I love these videos with this guy. 😎 i always think of him as an RC professor. Hes taught me ALOT as a young RC wannabe.
I'm a little late to see this comment but thank you for the kind words - Gary
Awesome vid! Helped me understand electric motors a bit more. I'm a nitro guy, but i'm willing to try to understand the other side of rc. Lol, good job sir!
He got me pump about building my brushless motor in my 1/10 scale 💪🏿🔥🔥🔥👌🏿💯
Went from nitro to electric and was clueless thank you so much
It would be better, yes. It just gives you a larger margin for error in case something happens.
Thanks for the compliment!

You need the gear ratio to calculate the speed.
Get closer look in to the endbell above negative lead. There is teeth on the can and three holes in the plastic below that teeth.
In dynamite 20t shown in 2:11 same as saturn 20t we can change timming settings by turning the endbell. But there are only thre position of that setting, you can see it above negative lead connection to the motor 1:02.
Do lower turn motors have better speed but less torque or something? Why would you opt for a higher turn motor? Sorry I'm way new to this stuff
I wanted to get some info about the numbers on a brushless. I just purcahsed a Maverick Strada with brushed mm22 540 , and wondering about upgrading it by time. I am new to RC, saw LiPO doing magic, even more with the brushless motors. Do you have any suggestions for a descent upgrade? Ps... i loved your battery video, thanks a lot!!!
Thank you so very much for the tutorial . It helped a lot.
Thank you very much for the info!!!
Would a 10T ESC been better for this 13-double?
I wouldn't want the ESC to fry.....
BTW, I absolutely love your videos!
THANK YOU. So many questions answered that I didn't even know I had. LOL

There really isn't unless you open it up and unwind the armature.
I have used a giant brush less motor for giant scale rc planes One of them would cut out at high throttle and let out a terrible squeal when it did But throttle back and it reset and goes again. There was no over draw in amps and was using the correct voltage The lipos can deliver more then twice what the amp meter showed as being used. My question for you is How important is switching frequency and how likely is that to have been the cause of this?

Hi there i like ur video yea i would like to put maybe 1 of these motors on my bicycle like a brushless motor i kinda want my bike to go ya know so im trying to find the motor that will work for me i kinda want my bike to go good so what would u think any ideas ty again
Do you have engine test stands? Like a standard one for all size test stand, can you make one?
nice instuctional video". i have one question out of curiosity because i think i mest my motor up yeterday. i was crawling with my 20t motor doing rock climbing and i guess since the coils on this motor are thicker that maybe thats why its over heating?? i got the motor so hot it was smoking from burming the label off of the motor, i than let it cool down and when i tried to play with it it still worked but the power was almost reduced by 3/4, so im guessing is this due to the magents loosing magnetism because the motor got the magents so hot?? cuz ive heated up a magnet when i was a little kid and remember the heat made the magnet weaker so was just wonderin if thats most likely the cause of the motor acting this way, please let me know what you think.

Should you teach your viewers how to keep the brushes apart so they get their engines together again (needle , tread or hoop) . Good video 👍
This was so helpful . Thank you !!
do you have a good explanation of armatures, the numbers: 12x1 , 12x2, etc .. the x? wire thickness? (brushed)
Fantastic tutorial. Thanks
Thanks for the help! Motor specs have confused me for a while.
So, does a 20 turn motor have a total of 20 turns, or 20 turns on each stack?
THANK YOU for video.. now I know what type of motor I need to replace for my car..
Cool thanks! also I bought a new summit from you guys! I also got a dhk shogun 1/8 scale I'm going to rebuild myself ! thanks guy
Reminds me of the stators used on dirtbikes and motorcycles.
Thanks bro, I needed this!
Is that a mini? I think so but not 100%
Yes it is.
Thanks for the crash course

I would like to use some brushed motors on some of my new motors, but I cannot find the power ratings of the brushed motors like I can find for the brushless motors.

i learnt alot more from this
Can I use a fast motor on my rc crawler for crawling? Like a Hpi Racing Saturn 27t on a SCX10 ii for crawling?
I'm currently making an rc boat to compete in a local homemade rc boat race. so my question is, for rc boats which one do you need the most? torque or rpm?. does installing a gear ratio to fasten the rpm of the propeller from the motor ruin the motor?. Thanks, your respond would be greatly appreciated. (sorry for my English btw, I'm Indonesian so English is like my 3rd language)
Andrika Hilman the torque would matter a bit more because it will get the boat on plane faster and easier
what is the fastest brushed motor you guys have? what's its rpm and how many turn does it have? i don't care about torque. Thank you
