brushed v brushless urns confusion
 

Having recently come back to rc I a little confused with the motor discriptions
Brushed are catagorised as 10 turn 15 turn etc
and I seen brushless discribed similary ie 12t etc......but today i saw somewhere that a 10 turn brushed is no where similar to a 10 t brushless.

Is this the case? or am I just at the age where I become confused easily

Your at the age where you just become easily confused like me!

But you are quite right they are not equivalent

it can get confusing if you've raced brushed before but heres a brief example:

27T brushed -> 13.5 brushless
19T brushed -> 10.5 brushless
13T brushed -> 6.5 brushless
10T brushed -> 4.5 brushless

it gets more confusing when you add varible boost timing from the esc and a 13.5t will end going as quick as a 6.5t down the straight.

but hope helps a little

Best to forget all you knew about brushed winds. Brushed and brushless aren't equivalent.

The reason why some are described as a .5 wind and others are a whole number is just the way they are wound inside. BRCA-legal sensored motors (which is what every serious racer uses) are all a .5 wind, sensorless motors (common in RTRs and for bashing) tend to be whole numbers.

Thanks for the info fella's. the reason why I asked is because I got a 12 t etronix unsensored....which goes like the clappers and I get wheelies on grass using a b4 & 4000 2s 30c lipo ....this I can honestly say never happened 10 years ago.
MY lad has also got a b4 with a 17 turn brushed which is only slightly slower than the brushless...but the brushless seem to have a lot more 'grunt'
