Wind and can size questions

[Greywolf74]

I undertsand a Wye motor to be a series of lines traveling down the length of the motor that fire in succession making the shaft of the motor essentially chase the pulse which stays one step ahead of the rotor. I guess what I dont understand are the winds. I dont understand the difference between a 1Y and a 1.5Y motor or which one is better.

Also I understand that a 540 and 550 can are the same diamter but the 550 is longer than the 540. What I dont understand is at what length a can stops being a 540 and becomes a 550.

I also thought 540 and 550 where 1/8 scale sizes but appently I was mistaken and they are 1/10 scale sizes. I understand 540 and 550 to be 36mm wide and 1/8 motors are between 40-42mm wide...what are the can sizes for 1/8 scale? Do they have can sizes for smaller mini and micro scales too?

Thanks in advance for any answers you can provide.

Wind and can size questions

It's my understanding that if you are breaking wind, the larger your can the more resonance you'll get from your farts.

No help here? Surely someone has to understand winds and can sizes in detail.

The higher the wind number the more torque the motor can supply and the slower that motor turns.

Minis and micros use smaller can diameters such and 380 and 270 for the minis (1/18th scale) and 180 and smaller for the micros.

As far as 1/8 scale sizes I know that some use the 775 cans.

Turns and Winds are different.

Turns is the wire is wound (turned) around each armature segment/pole, there is 3 segments/poles.
More turns = less RPM, higher torque, longer battery life and slower speeds.
Less turns = higher RPM, less torque, shorter battery life and higher speeds.



Winds is number of wires used.
a 19T motor maybe marked as 19x1 19turns single wind.
it could be marked as 19x2 19turns double wound.Or even 19x3 19turns triple wound.

Single wind = higher bottom end power, power is achieved at lower rpm's. better for short race tracks with a high number of turns.
Double,Triple,Quad winds = less bottom end power. power is achieved at higher rpm's. better for long race tracks with long straight aways.
