Reduction question(again)

[Lmackattack]

Regarding the motor turn question that is often brought up...I have 55,65, and 80 turn motors from rc4wd.they are the cheep $10 motors they sell.

the 55 is the fastest and seams more powerfull than the 80 turn


For example the truck with a 55 turn will run up a steep hill, loaded, at little loss of speed with no struggle to it. The 80 turn on the other hand struggles and slows to a crawl. I would expect the 80 turn to pull the hill with ease if it truly has more torque...

Can someone explain if I missed something....

Don't feel bad bud. Every time I read about motors I get a different explanation about turns and torque. If one thing is constant , you get what you pay for.
It is very possible for a 55 hand wound motor to be stronger than a 10 dollar 80 turn machine wound? More turns ain't better than less if not done properly

Out of all those motors, the 55 turn should be the fastest, but the 80 turn should have the most torque. Why doesn't it? There could be lots of reasons, but motors are not all created equal. Especially not when you are only spending $10.
