Surpass makes the majority of the brushless motors on the market today. Once you study their design and build features you will notice it on everything, even high end race motors. Fantom, reedy, rocket, hobbystar, reve d and many others. They are all oem by surpass hobby.
i live in Australia, and do all my rc shopping on Aliexpress, their range in massive and better pricing. I'm into crawling and i only buy surpass motors, as ive never had an issue and this vid shows it. Cheers for your time m8 in doing this video, from a m8 downunder
Thanks for the video test. On brand new motors I found that if they are a little noisy it's usually the bearing is a little stuck due possibly surface rust but most likely the adhesive resedue they use to glue on the permenate magnets during manufacturing. With all new motors I always spray a little brake or contact cleaner on each bearing run it for a few seconds then put a drop of oil on one end hold right side up run for 10 second the flip over and do the other side. Always seems to imidatly take the vibration out straight away and run much smoother/quieter and would probably help it achieve a tiny bit more rpm too 👍🏻
Testing these motors under a load or actually installed in an appropriate vehicle will give you more realistic results as to the quality of the motor. The Surpass motors are not that good of quality but they work okay as long as you don't push them to the limit. Over gearing or running a prop that's too big will burn up these motors fairly quickly. I still buy them because they're cheap, but consider them disposable as I do.
You need to put a load on the motors to have their amp draw to spike. They have no load other than the initial rotation of the rotor in this type of testing. You'll have to use a voltage meter and to have the motor in a vehicle, either have over sized tires on a bench or hold the vehicle while you throttle up. If it's a car put it on a loose surface and do a burn out. If it's a boat, hold it in place and have the prop force the water around it. Same idea with a plane but in the air obviously. You can hook up the voltmeter to measure the amps drawn from the motor or even the entire system depending where you connect to. Cheers
@@LawrenceTimme Yes usually all the higher Kv motor are Delta winds with the Y pattern winds mostly being used to create low kv motors since less winds are required to achieve low KV value Also because it's hard to make a motor have an exact KV ie an extra or even half a wind may drop the KV below what they where trying to achieve so instead they may use Y windings because using a cirtian amount of Y windings on a particular motor may achieve a specific KV they where hoping to achieve. Also all these motors are closed can so they timing would probably be set to zero as to allow equal rotation speeds for each direction of rotation.
Awesome motor comparison. I really like the SkyRC motor Analyzer. This was a very good video and really helped to show how different motors preform and it helps all of us to make informative purchases. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This channel should have millions of subscribers.. thank you. Can you compare the Arrma Blx 2050 KV 6s line with the new spectrum 2050 KV same dimensions brushless motors
Please compare the rotor inside the motor to see if the explosion prevention thread is wrapped. The Queenhobby motor has no thread in the rotor, so I wonder what other products are like.
Hello, I don't think these smaller motors will have kevlar wrapped rotors like bigger motors do. As long as you don't go over the manufacturers recommended rpm and the motor is together it should not come apart.
Thanks for showing this. I have the 4300 and the 5900 motors and your analysis is pretty spot on. I think that 5900 is also available from KingVal which I have had good luck with so far in 2 of my cars. Ballin' on a budget!
Good video-the 4300KV motor sounded immediately like the bearings are shot. Much of the db is from bearing noise on all these motors. I have always thought GoolRC and Surpass were from the same factory, but definitely prefer Surpass stuff, it seems more solid. I use quite a number of GoolRC brushed ESC and they have been good,robust and able to take some abuse, thank you for posting,very informative.
All three motor noises comes from bearings, the orange motor has the lowest quality ones. And maybe the red one is the only properly weight equilibrated from factory.
Could you test the marine motors from Surpass (Surpass boat rocket). They got some really high wattage 2960 motors and also 3660, 3670 and 40mm motors that look fantastic.
@@LawrenceTimme the 3660 is up to 4300kv and the small ones even more, which is definitely usable in the car territory. Also, im curious to know if the surpass platinum series (for cars, ribbed can and ?) actually perform better than the KK ones. But its fine when you dont want to. Cheers
Also there's a 3100kv 3650 thats rating 16v ?? Very tempted to buy just to see if it can take these claims but then need something to test on as i have only 1/8 scale trucks 🙁
@@4077661466jp 16v will still not allow you to run 4s as a full charged 4s is 16.8v so it's still only 3s rated. 22v is 5s capable, but they will not run a 1/8th car as it will be too heavy
@Lawrence Timme yes as everything you have is correct, but i had nor have any intentions on runing a 3650 can size motor on a 12+ pound monster truck, i was kinda of sharing a particular odd size/Voltage brushless motor as ive seen you have ability to test brushless motors without any need of installing into a vehicle, but also just realized you test kv output of a motor and that wont determine if a motor with gearing and moving the vehicle its installed in can take voltage its being rated at, any 3650 motor thats known of at max runs on 3s and thats probably everything under 3800kv, but First-time ive seen a 3650 size brushless motor with ability to handle anything more than 3s, which was my reasoning for commenting on your channel 😉 So yes im aware of weight and size limitations of a 3650kv and doesn't make any since to be wanting to install into a 1/8 size vehicle where i have currently 4268 2200kv motor on it .
Fabulous video, Lawence! So, in summary, can I say with same size, KV, the motor gives lowest current on the tester at full throttle has the most efficiency and thus the best one? I just bought the SurpassHobby 3650 3900KV and test it using the same tester you use, and I get 5A current @100%... compared to my other 13.5T motor which gets only 1.5A....shocked.
Not neccisarily. Motor amp draw changes significantly under load. It just means the motor doesn't struggle to move it's own weight. I think higher KV motors use thinner motor windings which may make them lighter and easier to turn. Im not an electrician so I could be wrong.
Hi mate, just to say, you should check out racerstar, they’re the same rebranded motors like surpass hobby, I have 2 myself, one that’s the same as the 5900kv you used in this test, and a bigger 3660 can 3300kv 4s motor, the quality has been amazing on mine, and, even the 3660 motor was £16, and that’s rated at 4s! It’s a BEAST on 4s in my rustler 2wd, talk about pizza cutter tyres🤣
Goolrc motors as with a few other motor brands are made in the Surpass motor. Sharing alot of the same "casing" (I would say amateur although in this contex the meaning would be confusing 😂) as for the internals and design measurements I'm guessing they are made to manufacture specifications or perhaps use an old Surpass Hobby design. Eaither way yes, I would always just get the Surpass Hobby as I would assume they would have a little better quality when making motors for themselves then their competitors. If you want to try more surpass hobby motors , there is quite alot of different product ranges. For budget I would say their platinum line is a a good one with a few improvement over the classic line such as larger bearings for motor size, ribbed design for better cooling also the leads and plugs are better too, for example a kk series 2845 will use 3.5mm plugs whilst a platinum series will use 4mm plugs. Also rocket is their more premium brand making a few lines of sensored 2 pole (all 1/10 race motors are 2 pole) class leading 540 race motors, 4 pole 1/8 scale sensored race motors. As well as a bunch of sensorless car and boat motors too. Also surpass also make some budget blue can sensored 540 motors and 1/8 scale orange can sensored motors too.
Interesting video, thanks for posting. Out of interest, approx what effect on amps would occur with the motor under load in the car with wheels/tyres etc? I'm guessing that 5-8 amps you measured with no load will be multiplied many times over?
Yeah the load when the motors are running will be much much higher. It depends on the weight of the car, the weight of the drive line components and the gearing as well. Most of these motors are rated at 60-100A maximum, but on moderate gearing on 2s they'll be more like 30-60a.
Hi, I'm trying to get back into the hobby and was wondering if everything is constant, what benefits would the 6900KV have over the 5900KV? Surpass KK line has both models for the same price.
a higher kv motor might suit some cars gearing options better than others, if you arE racing and limited to 1s for example, or you chassis can only fit a small battery.
Love the testing your doing man, have you ever tested like 3 of the same, say... goolrc motors in a row to see the consistency of them? I'd like to know if that specific surpass just happened to run quieter with less amps than the goolrc just due to luck and inconsistent manufacturing
No I haven't done that. I would have liked to do it though. It would be interesting to buy on per month for a whole year or something like that all the same to check for consistency.
hello congratulations for the video, a question I bought the same motor in the video 6900kv brushless surpass with esc 120a, on the technical sheet there is written max voltage 8.4 so the 11.1v battery cannot be put?
Where I live, the surpass hobby motors are double the price of the goolrc motors. For something that rolled out the same factory, the much cheaper goolrc is the one for me
@@LawrenceTimme I’ve seen a few reviews of the goolrc that said it was decent, I suppose the quality control of these motors are a bit of a gamble. I’ll be receiving mine soon, I’ll report back if I get a different experience than you.
@@LawrenceTimme I believe it depends allot how people use these motors. I’ve heard people complaining their esc burnt out after using a high KV motor with a low amp esc on a 1/8 scale monster truck on snow..
@@suubierex9396 not they have used them correctly on the forum most people use them to replace a brushed motor. You can see video of it which they stutter and don't work well at all.
@@tstricklin4808 i guesss , the current is higher when you're full throttle-ing from a full stop , compared to when you're doing that but already at max speed , the motor doesn't need to work as hard.. in most cases
Hi, I wanted to ask you since I am a newbie, what is the difference between the kk series of a 3650 or 3660 or 3670 motor. Also to ask you that I have an 80A esc and a 3650 7700kv motor and I think I will burn it . The correct one to avoid burning my esc would be a 3650 4500kv (max amps 75A) with a 7.4v 2s lipo battery? Thank you.
It will use more power with the same gearing or prop in your case, but also it will run hotter because its drawing more power, so you might have to gear down or use a smaller prop.
Good information on motors, although im after 3s motors for an Arrma Big Rock. Thank you for the info though! Suprass much better. Can I just say though that the noise levels were pretty stable at 81db, but as soon as you started talking it goes upto 85/87. When you stip it goes down to 81db. So motor is 81db not 87db. Otherwise awesome stuff ❤
@LawrenceTimme Ive found out my stock motor is fine and its the ESC that has failed me, causing stuttering and cut-off even at walking speed (car wouldnt go more than 4mph). But i have subbed and will watch more of your stuff, love info so brilliant channel 😉
@@LawrenceTimme I have a 1:12 scale vehicle. The gearing ratio could be anywhere from 3:1 or 2:1. Will be using on 2S Lipo. I already have a 30A HobbyWing ESC (16BL30). I'm just wondering if I upgrade to a 3650 3900kv motor... if the existing ESC can handle the load. Or if I need to buy a bigger amp ESC. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hi mate. Im looking at the spec sheet of the surpass hobby 3650, where the 3100kv max voltage is 16v. So the 4s 16.8v cannot be use? And the 4500kv is max voltage is 12v. The 3s 12.6v cannot be use also? Or the .6v and .8v can tolerate it? Thanks mate! Additional question If the 5900kv max rpm is 50,000rpm on 2s. Does the 3600kv motor with 3s can reach above 50,000rpm or the same 50,000rpm as 5900kv but the lower kv has more torque?
@@LawrenceTimme i'll order the 3600kv motor now for my 12428. I have a surpass hobby 2845 3800kv motor on my XLH 9125. I put 4s, runs fine until i full throttled it. The esc fried and the servo affected too. But the motor is fine. Wow i'm amazed how the motor survived.
@@harynian what??? In your example, torque should be halved, if you don't push current to the moon. And if you do, you'd get way more power and probably smoke the motor. Which is only logical, since the 6000kv has less turns to get that KV, but a coil with less turns at the same current generates less fieldstrength, which directly translates to less torque. I once threw a 3000kv motor in place of a 2000kv one without changing anything else. Drew A LOT of current and still performed worse in acceleration. Had to gear it down considerably, to make use of the increased rpm.
@@fabianrudzewski9027 Please, calm down. Question was simple: "Does lower kv make more torque", so answer is simple too: "no". Relating to my example: You have to know more about motor specification. 3650 800W 3000kv is rated for 16 V 50 A and 3650 800W 6000kv is rated for 8 V 100 A. Relating to the question: If you switch 6000 kv to the 3000 kv, with the same 8 V battery, you will get half of the torque. If you change motor to 3000 kv and battery to 16 V, you will get the same torque. You cant use 16 V for 6000 kv, because you will burn the motor. - a lot of people change motor to the higher kv to have more power and speed, because they use 2S battery and 2S is better for high kv motor - a lot of people have low kv motor and change 2S battery to 3-4S for more power and speed, because low kv motor needs more volts Brushless motor torque is calculated only from kv and current. Less kv = more torque, more current = more torque, but less kv = less current and you can check it in every motor specification. Summary: if you change motor 6000 kv 8 V 100 A to the 3000 kv 16 V 50 A, you will have half of the kv (more torque) and half of the current (less torque). Torque output remains the same in this situation. Relating to the coils: Yes, you are right. More coils = more torque, but only when current is unchanged. Unfortunately, more coils = coils are thinner = less current can flow. Tips: if you want to have more torque: - use as much volts as your motor can handle (look specification) - use motor with kv, which have max rated voltage as your battery - change motor to the bigger one Note: evey brushless motor is not empty inside, they are full of coils, no matter if they are thinn (many coils) or thick (few coils) and coils have their specified current resistance. You just cant build "much" stronger motor with the same size, you cant cheat the physics. The true way to have stronger motor is to buy bigger one. I hope it is clear enough now.
@@scottwilson9944 so if u count the teeth and the diameter, with a ruler just make sure the rulers line goes through the centre of the spur gear and touches the furthest points of the teeth, and theres a calculator online if u put those two in, it will give you a number like 32.224342 just round it to 32pitch
Lawrence Timme also i asked What is better for speed, i would love to know Because im trying to make it 100kmh, i bought some Brushed motor and it runs 82km h but i want 100
@@misio6110 lol. I think this motor might be too much for it XD. I would go with a turnigy nano tech or something like that. I have used the 5.6AH 2s and it has been great.
@@LawrenceTimme what he is saying..u didnt recharge your battery to test each motor. Your battery became a little variable in this experiment being that it differed with each motor.
@@LawrenceTimme also all motors come different kv s than advertised. U can do that test with ten of the same brand and kv motors u will get different results on all. All motors with shafts amd bearings need breaking in. Afyer a few battery packs the kv will go up pretty close to what its supppse to be
@@josephfast5887 yes the battery is not charged between runs because the charger is not accurate enough. Also this is very low current and power so it doesn't really make a difference. The kV is the rpm divided by the voltage, so even if the voltage dropped a bit, the rpm will drop as well, so its not really effecting the result
This is sometimes the case, but there will also be multiple factories making the same thing. These are made in China so there will be many copies of the same thing made in different factories to the same design.
why some words the "T" is pronounced and other words the t is silent??? there is a "T" in the word M-O-T-O_R correct? or he adds letters to a name goolrc is pronounced geecool rc???? where did the e and c come from? beda? i think he is trying to say better could be wrong

I have a few 2430 Surpass motors and they've been reliable but don't have anywhere near the advertised kV rating. Closer to half.
depends on the wind if its a Y or D wind try adjusting the timing on the Y wind motors as to far advance it will heat up really fast

a higher kv motor might suit some cars gearing options better than others, if you arE racing and limited to 1s for example, or you chassis can only fit a small battery.
Love the testing your doing man, have you ever tested like 3 of the same, say... goolrc motors in a row to see the consistency of them? I'd like to know if that specific surpass just happened to run quieter with less amps than the goolrc just due to luck and inconsistent manufacturing
No I haven't done that. I would have liked to do it though. It would be interesting to buy on per month for a whole year or something like that all the same to check for consistency.
Hi congrutalations for the videos on a 5900 kw crown 68 teeth which pinion do L have to put to have both recovery and speed at 2s and 3s?
Good testing. Thanks
The truth of the matter is that they’re all made in the same damn factories
china has a lot of factories
Is that blue one the 4 Pole 12 Slot Waterproof 2845 5000/5900Kv Motor with 3.5Mm Gold Plated Connector for 1/12 1/14 Scale Brushless Rc Car(5000Kv)
No these are all 3650
Which one better for rc MT?
depends on the gearing
@@LawrenceTimme gearing and combo's are important for apply to the kind of rc alright?
hello congratulations for the video, a question I bought the same motor in the video 6900kv brushless surpass with esc 120a, on the technical sheet there is written max voltage 8.4 so the 11.1v battery cannot be put?
Yes that is correct the maximum you can use is 2s with 6900kv motor otherwise the rotor will explode / come apart
@@LawrenceTimme Thank you very kind friend
Are u using the kk 6900kv?

What motor you recommend for the money and good power for a Traxxas Rustler 1/10 RTR 2WD xl-5 rc any help will be great thanks.
which motor works best in a Summit (climbing,crawling)?
None of these motors would work well in a summit.
Where I live, the surpass hobby motors are double the price of the goolrc motors. For something that rolled out the same factory, the much cheaper goolrc is the one for me
They goolrc motors are very poor quality. Not out the same factory or same at all.
@@LawrenceTimme I’ve seen a few reviews of the goolrc that said it was decent, I suppose the quality control of these motors are a bit of a gamble. I’ll be receiving mine soon, I’ll report back if I get a different experience than you.
@@suubierex9396 OK I have seen a lot of people had issues on the MSUK forum with both gool rc motors and esc's. Hopefully yours will be ok
@@LawrenceTimme I believe it depends allot how people use these motors. I’ve heard people complaining their esc burnt out after using a high KV motor with a low amp esc on a 1/8 scale monster truck on snow..
@@suubierex9396 not they have used them correctly on the forum most people use them to replace a brushed motor. You can see video of it which they stutter and don't work well at all.
Im just getting into it and i was wondering if i get a 4s motor and ran it on 2s if it would run less heat than a 2s motor?
Yes that is correct if the gearing is the same.
@@LawrenceTimme not true if you under power an elecric motor it will run hotter from trying pull the current it needs to run correctly
@@jameshankssr466 that's why I said on the same gearing. It will run way less heat on 2s compared to 4s because the vehicle will go half the speed.
Surpass Hobby is better :-)
I like how he calls it GeeOolRC instead of GoolRC.
Can i use lipo 3s batteryes on surpass hobby kk 3664 2900kv & 80A and that brushless servo?
Yes
Just put surpass hobby 7200kv on a teton . 2s 850mah battery. Wonder how long this plastic ⚙️ is going to last.
Lol
the motor is only pulling less than 10a but on the manual and the website they are rated as 60a 50a etc. what is this about?
I think , those are the peak currents , when you're driving the rc car.. accelerating full throttle , break etc that's when the current is the highest
@@FXV56 you mean under load
@@tstricklin4808 i guesss , the current is higher when you're full throttle-ing from a full stop , compared to when you're doing that but already at max speed , the motor doesn't need to work as hard.. in most cases
How many amps and how many volts would you recommend for a 2300 kv brushless motor?
It really depends what it is going in and the gearing used.
Can you buy a 2300 kv cw racing compatible engine and test it?
I dont buy motors unless I plan to use them in one of my rc cars.
How do i program that esc that came with the motor i have one and want to put it on to low voltage cut/lipo mode and dont know how please helpppp
Not sure. You probably need a program card and the instructions
@@LawrenceTimme dont have a programm card..
@@Thomas_Smaling you need to get one then to program it.
Hi, I wanted to ask you since I am a newbie, what is the difference between the kk series of a 3650 or 3660 or 3670 motor. Also to ask you that I have an 80A esc and a 3650 7700kv motor and I think I will burn it . The correct one to avoid burning my esc would be a 3650 4500kv (max amps 75A) with a 7.4v 2s lipo battery? Thank you.
The length. The numbers are the diameter 36mm and the length. 50mm, 60mm, 70mm.
Anybody told you that you sound like Brian Cox?
On almost every video 🤣🤣🤣
I was wondering why his voice sounded so familiar lol
Does higher kv the more power? Especialy in rc boat?
It will use more power with the same gearing or prop in your case, but also it will run hotter because its drawing more power, so you might have to gear down or use a smaller prop.
yes need a smaller propeller
The KK series is 6 Pole, the classic is 4 Pole
No they are both 4 poll motors. If it was a 6 pole they would read completely wrong kv on the motor analyser.
Great job thank you.
Good information on motors, although im after 3s motors for an Arrma Big Rock. Thank you for the info though! Suprass much better.
Can I just say though that the noise levels were pretty stable at 81db, but as soon as you started talking it goes upto 85/87. When you stip it goes down to 81db. So motor is 81db not 87db. Otherwise awesome stuff ❤
I have some other videos of bigger motors too. Not sure which would be best for your car though.
@LawrenceTimme Ive found out my stock motor is fine and its the ESC that has failed me, causing stuttering and cut-off even at walking speed (car wouldnt go more than 4mph).
But i have subbed and will watch more of your stuff, love info so brilliant channel 😉
Im plankning on bling one of these but they are so cheap, are they dangerous or anything like that?
they are fine
Can you use any esc you want with each motor ?
Yes :)
Would a 30A ESC be sufficient for these motors?
Depends on what you are putting it in and what gearing/ speed you are running at.
@@LawrenceTimme I have a 1:12 scale vehicle. The gearing ratio could be anywhere from 3:1 or 2:1. Will be using on 2S Lipo. I already have a 30A HobbyWing ESC (16BL30). I'm just wondering if I upgrade to a 3650 3900kv motor... if the existing ESC can handle the load. Or if I need to buy a bigger amp ESC. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
@@peterchung1934 I would recommend going to a 60A like the 10BL60
@@LawrenceTimme Thanks Lawrence!
Hi mate. Im looking at the spec sheet of the surpass hobby 3650, where the 3100kv max voltage is 16v. So the 4s 16.8v cannot be use? And the 4500kv is max voltage is 12v. The 3s 12.6v cannot be use also? Or the .6v and .8v can tolerate it? Thanks mate!
Additional question
If the 5900kv max rpm is 50,000rpm on 2s. Does the 3600kv motor with 3s can reach above 50,000rpm or the same 50,000rpm as 5900kv but the lower kv has more torque?
I would stick to 3s on the 3100 and 2s on the 4500. You really don't want to over rev them at all as the rotor will break.
@@LawrenceTimme thanks mate. The 3600kv is 13v. Maybe that is the max kv for 3s.
@@LawrenceTimme by the way I really like this video. The surpass hobby 5900kv is impressive, it is quiet and balance.
@@nomore25 yes for these motors 3600kv is the limit on 3s
@@LawrenceTimme i'll order the 3600kv motor now for my 12428. I have a surpass hobby 2845 3800kv motor on my XLH 9125. I put 4s, runs fine until i full throttled it. The esc fried and the servo affected too. But the motor is fine. Wow i'm amazed how the motor survived.
Great vid
Wait which one did you say the best at the end. Did you say weren’t the best on gool rc or were the best
What is the motor tester called 🤔
Skyrc motor analyser
does lower kv make more torque
Yes.
@@ericrichard5237 Answer is no. It is more complicated. But for example: if you have 3650 800W 3000kv and 3650 800W 6000kv, torque is almost the same.
@@harynian what??? In your example, torque should be halved, if you don't push current to the moon.
And if you do, you'd get way more power and probably smoke the motor.
Which is only logical, since the 6000kv has less turns to get that KV, but a coil with less turns at the same current generates less fieldstrength, which directly translates to less torque.
I once threw a 3000kv motor in place of a 2000kv one without changing anything else. Drew A LOT of current and still performed worse in acceleration. Had to gear it down considerably, to make use of the increased rpm.
@@fabianrudzewski9027 Please, calm down. Question was simple: "Does lower kv make more torque", so answer is simple too: "no".
Relating to my example: You have to know more about motor specification. 3650 800W 3000kv is rated for 16 V 50 A and 3650 800W 6000kv is rated for 8 V 100 A.
Relating to the question: If you switch 6000 kv to the 3000 kv, with the same 8 V battery, you will get half of the torque. If you change motor to 3000 kv and battery to 16 V, you will get the same torque. You cant use 16 V for 6000 kv, because you will burn the motor.
- a lot of people change motor to the higher kv to have more power and speed, because they use 2S battery and 2S is better for high kv motor
- a lot of people have low kv motor and change 2S battery to 3-4S for more power and speed, because low kv motor needs more volts
Brushless motor torque is calculated only from kv and current. Less kv = more torque, more current = more torque, but less kv = less current and you can check it in every motor specification.
Summary: if you change motor 6000 kv 8 V 100 A to the 3000 kv 16 V 50 A, you will have half of the kv (more torque) and half of the current (less torque). Torque output remains the same in this situation.
Relating to the coils: Yes, you are right. More coils = more torque, but only when current is unchanged. Unfortunately, more coils = coils are thinner = less current can flow.
Tips: if you want to have more torque:
- use as much volts as your motor can handle (look specification)
- use motor with kv, which have max rated voltage as your battery
- change motor to the bigger one
Note: evey brushless motor is not empty inside, they are full of coils, no matter if they are thinn (many coils) or thick (few coils) and coils have their specified current resistance. You just cant build "much" stronger motor with the same size, you cant cheat the physics. The true way to have stronger motor is to buy bigger one.
I hope it is clear enough now.
Goolrc motors are ok to use but never ever use a goolrc esc!
This motor I got was terrible, they probably are very hit and miss due to bad quality control so I wouldn't recommend them.
Good vid dude
Thanks. Plenty more to come!
That red mortor the surpass one i have the same one and need a pinion gear but don't know what one i need can anyone tell me please
It need to be 3.175/3.2mm shaft pinion. The teeth and pitch depends on the spur gear in your rc car.
How do I find out the pitch on my spur gear
@@scottwilson9944 You might have to look in the manual.
@@scottwilson9944 so if u count the teeth and the diameter, with a ruler just make sure the rulers line goes through the centre of the spur gear and touches the furthest points of the teeth, and theres a calculator online if u put those two in, it will give you a number like 32.224342 just round it to 32pitch
Great review ! Thanks :-)

👍👍
you start testing with different battery voltage!!
?
@@LawrenceTimme what he is saying..u didnt recharge your battery to test each motor. Your battery became a little variable in this experiment being that it differed with each motor.
@@LawrenceTimme also all motors come different kv s than advertised. U can do that test with ten of the same brand and kv motors u will get different results on all. All motors with shafts amd bearings need breaking in. Afyer a few battery packs the kv will go up pretty close to what its supppse to be
@@josephfast5887 yes they come with different kvs from new, but no they don't get broken in. A brushless motor doesn't break in like a brushed motor.
@@josephfast5887 yes the battery is not charged between runs because the charger is not accurate enough. Also this is very low current and power so it doesn't really make a difference. The kV is the rpm divided by the voltage, so even if the voltage dropped a bit, the rpm will drop as well, so its not really effecting the result

This is sometimes the case, but there will also be multiple factories making the same thing. These are made in China so there will be many copies of the same thing made in different factories to the same design.
why some words the "T" is pronounced and other words the t is silent??? there is a "T" in the word M-O-T-O_R correct? or he adds letters to a name goolrc is pronounced geecool rc???? where did the e and c come from? beda? i think he is trying to say better could be wrong
