Nice cheap brushless motor for Clubman racing

[cunawarit]

Hey everyone, I know I am not the only one that uses budget ribbed sensorless motors, in my experience even the 12 and 13 turn versions of these are very powerful!

As far as I knew these only came in 9, 10, 12 and 13 turn versions. However, today I spotted a 17T version in HobbyKing: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__27867__Turnigy_Trackstar_1_10_17_0T_2400KV_Brush less.html

Seems nice for only 23 dollars :) Might be close to a 17.5T sensored...

PS: I might get one for stock buggy :D

Looks good, i've got one of their servos in my buggy and its excellent. Cost £20 but performs exactly the same as the Savox 1258

Cool, what model? My budget metal geared servo of choice is the Alturn AAS-752MG. £18 and 6.0V: 0.09sec / 60 deg. Got one in my Losi and Mardave. The beloved TL01 got the Savox treatment though :) It is my baby.

PS: Traxxas sits there servo less, motor less, bearing less... :( A sad sight indeed. Needs fixing before the summer.

Im also running an Alturn in my TA02 - the low profile one and im impressed so far.

WOW! Nice specs :)

I am pleased to announce that my crazy 12t motor is now dead:cry:

I've ordered a more sedate Leopard 13t in replacement from Hong Kong but it may take time to arrive.

In the meantime I have also ordered this and should be with me by wednesday:

What do people think for clubman? I think it will be somewhere between silver and black can, but will find out this friday.

It looks a great choice :thumbsup:

A possible future idea..

[cunawarit]

I like it!!!!! Let's test it :D

[Chris56]

There's only one way to find out. Hoping it will be really good when we run a tight circuit.

That 12t was quick in my TA02, but in the TB02 it was mental and on pace with the touring cars

[cunawarit]

I am glad it is gone :D BTW... I have a 12T and a 9T that I would like to swap for a couple of 13Ts.... I know I have offered these before, but here it goes again :D Any takers????

This is your best bet if you don't mind waiting a couple of weeks:

Gives u a rough idea of kv versus turns

13t at 3000kv versus tekin 13.5t at 3500kv and 17.5t at 2500kv.
At a guess its prob close to a 14-15 turn

[Chris56]

The Leopard 13t arrived this morning (I only ordered it on saturday from Hong Kong!!!) I will run each motor in seperate rounds tonight with zero timing and compare.

Let's hope your wheels stay on, otherwise the comparison will be flawed.

Well wheels stayed on (unlike today:lol:)

IMHO the 17t is good for clubman - not to different to silver can. On an open track It was at full throttle for a lot of the lap but will be greta for when a tight track is run.

The 13t was much quicker - ran it for the final and managed to beat a touring car with an 8.5t by nearly a lap, although that could be down to the fact I was running foams :D
