electrify me

[ughlas]

i still want a little help on electric cars.
i set up a thread a whle ago about motors and batterys but i didnt get much

what is the difference between single and double in a motor
i see 19 turn single and 19 turn double and i want to clear that up

also i am looking for a electric touring car with shaft drive.
in total i would like to spend under 500 dollars in total
any suggestions?

With the "shaft drive car under 500"...are you going to race it? If you are..Id look at the TB-02R or even the stock TB-02. The TA-05 is also a great choice. Stay with Tamiya and X-ray and you won't be disapointed.

Team Associated Motor Help

"WINDS of "Double," "Triple," or Quad" refers to the number of strands of wire wound around the armature, double being two strands, triple being three, quad being four, and quint being five. The type of wind is for fine tuning your motor's power band. In general, winds with fewer wires give the impression of kick-starting your wheels, while the winds with more wires will bring you up to top end speed more slowly.

If you have a very slick track, then winds like single and double may cause your wheels to spin; other winds--triple, quad, quint--may give your car better traction. In addition, the less turns of wire, the less run time you will have, because fewer wires will draw more power from your batteries."

Here take a look at this:
Team Associated FTeam TC4 (http://www.ultimatehobbies.com//p697.html)

The good thing about this kit is that its AE(Team Associated) and its almost a sure thing that you're Local Hobby Shop will carry parts for it. Also, it already comes with hopup goodies.

The TA05 is also a good choice, however, it's belt-driven. I'm not really sure about the X-Ray, its an excellent choice, but you may have a hard time finding parts for it when something breaks.

Yea just got with an AE TC4. You can find parts for them just about anywhere and they are deffinetly race proven.

lol 702nitro that's where I learned what the difference was between winds. I think it was a T3 tunning guide that i bought.
