Anyone know if a Motor is "Rated" to a certain number of cells?

[marcoze]

i was thinking of running a Reedy Krypton Modified 7turn Single wind Motor in my drag car.

What i was to do is run 24, 2400mah cells through a Microswitch.

is that too mmuch for a motor?

I figured without a SC, i wont have a problem.

Well, I'm not sure about these motors.. But I'll say this from experience with electric motors..

An electric motor will take as much power as it's "system" will hold. I've seen a 4.5v motor take the power from a light socket for more than 5 minutes.. So, it's up to you. Not saying it'll work. If something let's go, it'll be when it takes the juice.

I'm gonna Email reedy and see what they have to say about it.

Good plan, hit the horses mouth

They said "As
for the KR motor, we don't have a specific rating for them in the
environment that you are planning. In most cases the motors are run
usually
with 6 cells, some time up to 7 cells, so it would be a bit of an
experiment on your side to see if the motor can take it.
"

So i guess ill just have to experiment
