Motors of the brushless veriaty

[ScottyDogWoof]

Guys as above, I'm a little old school on motors and still stuck in working out motors on winds and turns. I have used brushless and loved it but the only way i knew a motor was better or even faster was because it was a 7.5 to a 10.5 turn, I'm currently looking at micro off road motors but most are labled up in KV. Is the higher number a faster motor or slower?

'll be running an rc18t, I have been looking at the M Tronics mirco combo, Orion Vortex combo and not that i can find any one selling in this country but the eZrun a2 combo, I do know about the losi and reedy setups but i dont tend to follow the pack in what i buy lol like to be different. Any help will be great. I do have epa's etc on controller so i'm not looking at mega fast but i dont want slow either.

Hi mate, I have the Orion Vortex combo with a 6000kv motor to run in my 1:16th Tamiya. I have been reliably informed that this motor will be plenty although I do have the 7500kv just in case!!
With the motors rated in kv, the higher the faster so I think that you should be ok with something similar to what I have in mine. Hope this helps a bit, I am sure someone will be along in a bit to give a more detailed explanation.

I have the EZrun 12T combo in my RC18 and it's fantastic value for money, no cogging despite being sensorless (in forward only mode) and plenty of speed. Small size too, it fits between the servo and the motor.
As sthe car is so light compared to the sharks you don't need a more powerful motor
