Types of RC Motors
When most people flick the switch on their remote powered vehicle, they take it for granted that the toy starts moving without a hitch. The key piece of equipment in this process, of course, is the motor. An may not provide the raw power that a nitro one does, but it is more quiet and cleaner. There are two basic types of RC motors for ground vehicles.
~A stock motor cannot be changed in any way. It comes from the factory and must be used as is. When you buy a ready-to-run electric RC car or truck, then the motor that comes with it will be the average stock motor. To save money you can even purchase a used electric motor.
~A modified electric RC car motor is typically more powerful and must be used with a separate electronic speed controller. It has adjustable timing and ball-bearing races.
High Voltage
Like many people from my generation, I was first introduced to the concepts of alternating current and direct current from the moniker of the iconic rock band AC/DC. It wasn’t until I reached my physics class in high school, however, that I learned the importance of these two electrical charges.
As you can probably ascertain, direct current is a charge that never changes it direction. Due to its consistency and low wattage, direct current is commonly found in low-voltage devices, especially those that are powered by batteries, which have constant positive and negative sides. Alternating current, on the other hand, reverses direction periodically and creates much more energy; it is utilized in everything from household and business electricity to an AC motor
Connex Motor
Koss Industrial, Inc. offers a wide variety of stainless steel motors–including the connex motor, which is also referred to as a gator motor. This motor is three phase with a c-face. If your looking for the lowest price on a motors, this is the motor for you.
