Horizon as a company has been a pleasure to deal with. Bought Axial Jeep JLU in late Nov 2020 and it had a faulty servo on the DIG function. I live in Canada and Horizon warranty the servo on my word telling them. Shipped prepaid and arrived in less than two weeks. This video is very helpful when being bombarded with what's available to buy for aftermarket motors. So Thanks for making these videos.

I felt the need to put this out there, the reason for 3 wires vs 2 wires on BL vs B is more so due to the commutation. A brushless esc needs to have an electronic commutator inside rather than the physical of the brushed.

Very awesome - even 12 years later! I watched it all and took notes!

Best video ever made on KZread. THANK YOU!!!

OUTSTANDING video! Very informative. I fly quads and am moving up to brushless motors so even tho you were talking about RC vehicles, it still translated well into how it would apply to quad multi-rotors. Many thanks for a great video.

Very well spoken!!! We need more info about RC from this guy here. 👏🏻

Extremely well made, informative video. I definitely learned a lot as a new comer to the RC car hobby!

It is specific to each motor honestly. Most high-performance brushed motors aren't being produced any longer as most of these manufacturers have moved to brushless technology.

Very detailed video, thank you for your knowledge!

Awesome review... Thanks a bunch!

Thanks bro, I needed this!

Thanks I'm a big fan! Thanks for the help. Your one of the best rc channels!!!!!

Your knowledge on this topic is awesome. Really appreciate you taking the late nights opening and playing with different motors. Takes a lot of patience, and a very cool wife if u know what I mean. I have to sneak my RC time in. And everyone knows that once u sit down and Start dissecting for hours without noticing

That was an excellent video, it really cleared up the whole Brushless motor technology for me.... Now, to learn about lithium batteries and esc for brushless. This is what I get for 3 years out of the hobby haha

You are an excellent teacher!!

Thank you. I was always wondering why brushless motors needed a special ESC.

Sir, you explain like a Boss! Thank you!

Thanks for the great vid! Learnt heaps!!!

Thank you, that will help me a lot when it comes time to up grade my old Slash to brushless.

Thanks for the info! This is great.

THANK YOU. So many questions answered that I didn't even know I had. LOL

Thanks a lot for the all the info , Great vid !

This was so helpful . Thank you !!

Thanks for an excellent explanation ! This is what i was looking for.Thanks again.

Very good video. Very informative. I learned alot since I took my team Losi buggy and my Traxus truck out of the closet after years of storage. I have watched alot of your videos and learned what's in and what's out. Thank You.

Great video! Thank you so much!

Thank you so very much for the tutorial . It helped a lot.

Great video, it really helped me understand how the brushless systems work. Thumbs up.

Thank you, this video was very helpful in knowing the difference between brush and brushless motors. Plus I couldn't remember if more or less turns on a brush motor made it faster or slower. Very good info for RC car motors.

Thanks for the great instructional intro to these motors ! Great work and easily understood

Thank you for sharing guys!!👍👍

He got me pump about building my brushless motor in my 1/10 scale 💪🏿🔥🔥🔥👌🏿💯

Thanks a lot! I've learned a lot about motors now :)

Awesome vid! Helped me understand electric motors a bit more. I'm a nitro guy, but i'm willing to try to understand the other side of rc. Lol, good job sir!

Great explanation, thanks!

I love these videos with this guy. 😎 i always think of him as an RC professor. Hes taught me ALOT as a young RC wannabe.

I'm a little late to see this comment but thank you for the kind words - Gary

Thank you so much for the info!

Thanks for the explanation, very clear!!!

FInally, I understand Brushless motors and what T means. Thanks man!

good video for breaking down the basics

Fantastic tutorial. Thanks

very good. thanks a lot! enjoyed all three of your videos

Thank you Sir, Good presentation, Now I know what I didn't know before.

excellent video ! thanks

I understand what you are saying. With any "sealed endbell" motor there is the opportunity to "pop" the endbell off by applying enough pressure to the tabs to make them spread. This motor is not designed to have the timing adjusted once it has been assembled.

Great video. Thank you

Very good video, very informative, thankyou for sharing!

Great! Thanks for all the help. I sincerely appreciate the responses as some people wont even reply. Thanks again.

That is a very informative and nicely explained video. I attempted to do a video not to dissimilar to this a little while back and while I did have a lot of the basic right I wasnt able to go nearly as in depth as you guys did here mostly because I have very little experience with brushed motors.

thank you for your vide.,it is very informative.I use to race rc 10s with my dad back in the mid 80s I am thinking of getting back into the game.and thgis video is very helpful as far as info on dif motors..thank you again.very nice video.keep up the good work.

And tonight i have learned the difference between 550 and 540 thank you so much

All depends on if you want to go brushed or brushless. I've heard very good things about systems from Novak and Tekin in both brushed and brushless. The Timbuk2 from Novak is quite popular for an ESC along with their 21.5T or 18.5T motors.

Helped me for my motor needs

Nice video :) clear talking i understand.

Hi um Anthony I have 3 brushless rc traxxas 110 th scale vehicles myself this video is very enteresting too 👀 watch. I learned alot from this.

WOW Very nice talk

It would be better, yes. It just gives you a larger margin for error in case something happens. Thanks for the compliment!

thank you I was wondering weather the "closed end bell" had to be treated the same as an "open end bell" and now I know thank you

Well done.

I think a better way to explain brushless vs brushed is that a brushed motor uses a mechanical switch to change polarity and a brushless motor uses a computer and solid state electronics to do it. It's like mechanical fuel injection vs electronic fuel injection, the real benefit comes from being able to adjust timings without physical changes to the motor and having less resistance from mechanical parts.

Good one

Top video very useful

i learnt alot more from this

THANK YOU for video.. now I know what type of motor I need to replace for my car..

nice vid thanks

thanks for the help. I am running a brushed system now and was wondering what i should use.

Cool thanks! also I bought a new summit from you guys! I also got a dhk shogun 1/8 scale I'm going to rebuild myself ! thanks guy

Now i understand thanks man

Very informative

Brushless motors do NOT run on AC, they are DC that is pulsed to different sets of coils. They basically replace the commutator. The basics are the same, Electricity runs through the coil's creating a magnetic field and repel or attract to the permanent magnet that is part of the rotor. The coils are labeled A,B,C and the electricity gets flowed from A-B, then B-C, then C-A and repeat in a circle . Sensored brushless motors have Hall Effect sensors (usually 3) that tell the Electronic speed controller (esc) what the orientation of the rotor is currently in so the ESC knows which set of coils to apply current to.

if you listened he said they basically work on AC, which is true. even though it is technically DC, a waveform that is basically a modified sine wave with a bunch of PWM is what an ESC sends a brushless motor.

Very informative video for someone like myself who just decided a few days ago to buy a car after about 1 day of research. I'm a beginner and I want my son to enjoy it with me but dont want a car going too fast but I also want to know how to upgrade when time comes.

Went from nitro to electric and was clueless thank you so much

that really answered a lot of my questions

very helpful

Nice video

Thank you, sir

Thanks for the crash course

Thanks for the help! Motor specs have confused me for a while.

Let us make this even more clear: A brushed motor runs the current though the armature making it electromagnetic that interacts with the permanent magnets in the shell of the motor. A brushless motor has a rotor with permanent magnets and runs the current in the shell making it electromagnetic that interacts with the rotor.

correct your scentence

motors are a fun hobby in themselves. the sealed 540 motors can be safely opened and if you know what you're doing you can easily change the windings with bigger gauge laminated wire without soldering and have some cheap fun. if you can find small bearings with the right I.D/O.D diameters then you fit them on the front and end race. got 15t and 10t motors in sealed cans with a double 10t in the making all running off a tekin G9. mabuchi and johnson motors can easily be found next to nothing for rebuild or spare bushes. have fun :)

Nice video you now your stuff

Kv-A rating of performance for brushless motors. While Kv ratings are occasionally applied to sensored motors, sensorless brushless motors are almost always rated by Kv. The higher the Kv rating of a motor the faster it will be. Kv refers to the number of RPM a motor will produce for each volt of power input to it For example a 1,000Kv motor would produce roughly 7,400 RPM at 7.4 volts.

Should have this info in the video!

Depends on the size of the motor quite honestly. There are brushless motors for 1/5-scale vehicles that will blow away the power of those for 1/10-scales. Generally the fastest I've seen for 1/10-scale are the 2-4T motors. Crazy fast!

I don't know that I've ever seen that rating for a motor. What manufacturer if you don't mind my asking?

In very simplistic terms, yes.

How does one get that kind of shine on ones head? Love it.

hi... great video. Do you know how those copper "springs" holding the carbon brushes are called? I need to replace one and all carbon/brushes I see are a variation of a coil/wire and the carbon itself. Never the tiny copper arms pushing the carbons.Thanks!

Thank you.

Tremendo detalles el funcionamiento según las vuelta y sus potencial RPM

Will a higher turn number work better for larger tires in terms of overheating? I’m still running the original 20t in my ECX Amp MT and stock tires on 2s expecting it to fail, but it seems to not overheat like my 12T Arrma brushed on 2s does.

Almost all electric motors are ac (stepper motors excluded) - in other words the current must somehow be switched in direction every half cycle if dc is applied. In the so-called dc motor this is achieved by the commutator, which reverses the current flow. A brushed ac supplied motor uses slip rings to get the current to the armature. Great channel, thanks

looking for a hard brushes for my crawler motor what kind should I get? I have a 35 turn trinity speed gem. I replaced the stock after a year of run time to a soft brush and only got a hour of run time and the brushes were gone. so I don't know what I'm looking for. can u please help...thank you.

answered my question thanx

Reducing the timing will reduce the RPM and increase the torque of the motor

Thank you

What are some of the fastest motors out there? I'm new to this and just trying to learn your video helped me a lot

nice instuctional video". i have one question out of curiosity because i think i mest my motor up yeterday. i was crawling with my 20t motor doing rock climbing and i guess since the coils on this motor are thicker that maybe thats why its over heating?? i got the motor so hot it was smoking from burming the label off of the motor, i than let it cool down and when i tried to play with it it still worked but the power was almost reduced by 3/4, so im guessing is this due to the magents loosing magnetism because the motor got the magents so hot?? cuz ive heated up a magnet when i was a little kid and remember the heat made the magnet weaker so was just wonderin if thats most likely the cause of the motor acting this way, please let me know what you think.

Thanks. Too informative. This video should have been 10 minutes long.

I wanted to get some info about the numbers on a brushless. I just purcahsed a Maverick Strada with brushed mm22 540 , and wondering about upgrading it by time. I am new to RC, saw LiPO doing magic, even more with the brushless motors. Do you have any suggestions for a descent upgrade? Ps... i loved your battery video, thanks a lot!!!

great video. now comes the next question. how do you choose which gear ratio is correct? esc temp, motor temp? i run a slash on oval. Last season I was so under geared my motor was barely warm after races. well i changed a few things. looks like 120-170 is about the temp range im goung to run in.
