What makes up the brushed rc electric motor.Learn how motor winds and turns can affect your performance.
The brushed RC electric motor has been the backbone of electric RC trucks and cars for years. The brushed rc electric motor is broken down into two parts. The stationary parts and the rotating parts. 
The stationary parts consist of the magnets, brushes, brush hood and springs. That are collectively called the "stator". The stationary parts of a rc electric motor are held in what is called the "can". The rotating parts are the commutator plates, armature and windings. These parts make up what is called the "rotor". 
The RC electric motor sole job is to convert stored electrical energy into mechanical energy. This occurs through what is called commutation. I know you are wanting to know what does all this mean to you. You just want your RC truck or car to haul butt and you could care less about the Physics lesson. I have just gave you a very broad overview of why it works the way it works. Plus, how does this apply to your RC truck or car. 
The number of turns a brushed RC electric motor has determines the amount of power, rpm, torque a motor creates. The lower number of turns the greater the rpms and power will be. While the torque will be reduced some, but not greatly. The lower the turn motor you use the more maintenance is required. The motor will not last as long and drains batteries faster. You will need to clean the motor and change brushes more frequently on a low turn motor. A brushed rc electric motor with less winds moves the power closer to lower rpms. Making your truck or car feel like it accelerates harder, more torque, from a standstill with lower top end speed. When you add winds, this moves the power farther up the rpm range doing the opposite. Less torque from a standstill, but with a higher top end speed. 
This has just been a very broad look at brushed type RC electric motor. I will get into much more detail in the sections on maintenance and rebuilding of RC electric motor.
