Evening people,

Was wondering if somebody could tell me the brushed equivalent of a 6.5 brushless motor. Plus what would be the brushless equivalent of a 19 turn brushed motor?

Many thanks.

I believe it is double, so the 6.5 would be a 13 turn brushed and the 19t brushed would be about 9.5 brushless (ish)

Really there is no equivalency.

In the early days of brushless, more or less halving the brushed wind gave an equivalent. But since then the motors have improved and the ESC software has completely changed.

Look at the tech charts for an idea of what people are running in each class at the moment.

Aren't they using 13.5 brushless for the 'equivalent' of 19t brushed motors these days?

I think in many race series' they run as 10.5/19t and 13.5/27t. But that is very heavily stacked with brushless. A timed 13.5 will totally destroy a 27t.

IMO the proper equivalents are probably something like 17.5 no boost = 27t, 17.5 boosted = 19t. I know my boosted 13.5 is much faster than my 19t checkpoint as I have run both recently (ran 19t in the summer as only just started back after uni break).

So I think that would possibly make boosted 13.5 = 12tmod and 10.5 boosted = 7t mod. I reckon that makes sense as I think the 10.5 track record around Halifax is something around the lap record with old 7t mod.

These days a 6.5 with a little timing would more than likely kill any brushed motor ever made.
