Hi,I am looking for a motor for my son's battery cars,it is 6volt but its run slow,I would like to know if this(12v motor)would be better?thanks

From experience, the higher the voltage of the motor is rated, the more power it would have. That said, the output force is contingent on load of the torque time speed divided by 5252. Hope that helps out.

This motor has been running 6 days a week since we got it, with no troubles. If the RPM is correct for your application, then it would be a good choice

This motor uses not more than 3 amps normal operation at full speed. At start up it can draw up to 10 amps. I rec to use at leat 12 amps power supply for an on-off operation.

I ran the motor with a new U1 size 35AH battery (weighs about 23 pounds) in a trash can at the number 4 setting. The motor was down to it's last red light after 90 minutes of continuous running. The speed was noticeably slower by then.

I believe that is a 3.6V battery, and you will need at least 5V to drive the motors properly. So, connecting two or more of them of them in series should work. I found that a 9-12V source with a speed controller (so the final voltage to the motor is 6-8V) works well.

I'm thinking of checking my local hobby shop for a LiPo battery and charger upgrade. I have been looking at various 7.4V LiPo batteries and chargers on amazon but I want to compare prices with my local store before I purchase. I haven't gotten the car yet but word is the charger and battery could use an upgrade and that the car is LiPo battery ready so I'm thinking it might be the solution, although they are about half as expensive as the car itself.

This motor is rated at 0.360 Kw. This converted to amps is ~ 30 amps at full power. On top of the control head, there is a basic chart on what to expect based on how you use it and the size of the battery you use. I'm using a battery rated at 180 @ 25 amps. I could run this for 3 hours on 4.

You'd need a 12v power source that can provide a decent amount of steady current for that motor - four AAs wouldn't have enough juice to run this. You'd be better off with a small AC adapter similar to your phone charger - just make sure it's a 12v adapter.

Good sir, yes very good brushless motor! 4s so 4 x 3.7= a bunch of volts. Have good day.

Put in two LiPo batteries in parallel and lower the gear ratio and you'll have all the speed and more power than you need. Go to your local RC dealer for the best advice. I would definitely invest in a Traxxas 6 amp battery charger.

6v, but it can handle a 12v battery without any issues. Your child will love it if they are bored with it after a year or so. With the mods my son and I have done, he can drive for about 1.5 miles before it drives like it was with 6v. In couple of months, i'll let you know how it handles at around 15 volts. I'm trying to find the limit where the stock motor dies so poeple can know. More so, my son and I are dying to completely modify it with a sub frame, 5 point seat belts.....

You can use a 12 volt battery, or a battery pack. I think it would even work with more than 12 volts. I use a small solar panel that I got for 6-7 dollars. Great little motor!!!

Because it is a motor, you will not be able to get its full potential using 50 hertz power. It will still work just not at rated speed.

No it's a110 volt AC motor you need 12 24 or 36 volt DC motor depending on your battery setup

Hello my friend I bought this motor last summer and is very good with a battery of twelve Volt operates approximately 4 to 5 hours

no it doesnt make a difference. most motors will run on voltages from 105 to 125 volts.

Your motor is a higher service factory motor then this one, I would recommend using the B2842, higher service factory and energy efficient. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0049TZYBS Barry
