  • T-numbers in motors, what do they mean?

    I'm casually looking at brushless and I realise it's a mine field.

    I've seen all sorts of numbers 10.5t, 12.5t 15.5t.
    I understand it means turns, but I don't know what that means, or whether smaller or larger numbers is better.
    (For a 2wd, off road buggy that gets road use too)
    Would be replacing a brushed 540 Torque Tuned (25t I think)

    Would be used with NiMH batteries (LiPo is a future step) and TBLE02 ESC.

    Purely hypothetical at this stage as I might buy a fancylad model at some point to make my "quick" model.

  • On brushed motors it is the physical number of wire turns. The fewer the turns, the lower the resistance, so the faster the motor. You also used to get double and triple windings, where the the wire was doubled or tripled up to get more current through it and increase the torque.
