Does anyone know how turns translates to KV?
I want to know how many KV a 17.5 turn brushless motor is.
Thanks,
Alvin

It depends on the length and diameter of the rotor, the pole count, the weight of copper the amount of iron in and the thickness of the laminations, the strength of the magnets, the magnet air gap, and other variables, sorry but there are FAR too many variables for a direct universal conversion from winds to KV.
What is the motor? Maybe someone has one and can tell you what KV it is.Last edited by NativePaul; 10-11-2009, 11:57 AM.Paul Upton-Taylor, Greased Weasel Racing. -
One rule to remember, the higher the number of turns, the lower the KV and vice versa. No way of knowing exactly what your 17.5 turns equates to but it is most like a low KV.Mini Cat Racing USA

Sounds like you might be talking about a brushless stock motor. If that
is the case they are about 2200 Kv.

What brand and model motor are you referring to? As others have stated, there are too many variables to give valid info. without specifics.Government Moto:

Don't see any specs on this page but here is the motor. Yes it is the stock ROAR motor.

Probably most similar to a 2200kV motor.. Lots of torque, not alot of speed. Good for light cars with low FDRsThe RTR Nightmare- Electric King of Shaves

Thanks guys. That is what I supsected but wasn't sure.
NitroVal, I saw you posting in the Associated forum. I am looking at this motor for my SC10. This truck is awesome!Comment

Yea, you'll love it. Its a tough truck to race with compared to a Slash, but get it hooked up right and its rips.. Im kind of pissed at our local track as we were running them with the Slash's in the Spec class and we were beating up pretty badly on the Slash's so they made another class for us SC10ers. Only thing was there wasnt enough SC10s to get the class really competitive, so it died off, and now I have one just collecting dust..The RTR Nightmare- Electric King of Shaves

That 17.5 motor is 3000kv or possibly a 3300kv...NAMBA20...Caterpillar UL-1, P-Spec OM29, P-Mono DF33, P-Spec JAE, Aussie 33" Hydro-LSH, Sprintcat CC2028 on 8s, PT SS45 Q Hydro, PS295 UL-1 power, OSE Brothers Outlaw QMono 4-sale, Rio 51z CC2028 on 8s

Where are you getting your info Brushless55? Every 17.5 t brushless stock motor
I've researched have been between 2200 and 2300 Kv.

It all depends on manufacture..
a 17.5 turn could be 2,500kv to 3,000kv
It a can go as low as 2,200kv.NAMBA20...Caterpillar UL-1, P-Spec OM29, P-Mono DF33, P-Spec JAE, Aussie 33" Hydro-LSH, Sprintcat CC2028 on 8s, PT SS45 Q Hydro, PS295 UL-1 power, OSE Brothers Outlaw QMono 4-sale, Rio 51z CC2028 on 8sComment

keep in mind different makers have a slightly different kv rating for the same turn motor.NAMBA20...Caterpillar UL-1, P-Spec OM29, P-Mono DF33, P-Spec JAE, Aussie 33" Hydro-LSH, Sprintcat CC2028 on 8s, PT SS45 Q Hydro, PS295 UL-1 power, OSE Brothers Outlaw QMono 4-sale, Rio 51z CC2028 on 8sComment
