Hi all! Several weeks ago I've bought this Yokomo motor and yesterday I found the time to open it.
The seller says it's 15x1 turns but wire seems to thin and the armature so full to be correct, any guess? Or info?
How many wire strands are there under the folded tabs of the commutator? One of the tabs will have more than the others, but the others will at least tell you if it's a single wind, double, etc. Unfortunately no easy way to tell how many turns are on it.

I have to check it better, I haven't my rc stuff here in Venice and it's possible that the pic shows were windings starts/ends.

Not sure about that one but sometimes they engrave the turn/wind on the can somewhere around the motor screw holes.
I haven't seen engraving, I will look better of course.
That's the problem with used modified motors....unless the turns & winds are written on the armature you can't figure out what they are, and even if the info is written on the arm, you can never be sure it's the original one that came in the motor can.
Recently I've purchased a Wing Stock RF and a Wing 2 in the attempt to form the complete Wing motors line up. The Wing 2 seller have been so kind sending me some old advs regarding Yokomo motors that clear the point about turns:
YMW4 Wing 4 Modified Motor 16 turn single
YMW2 Wing 2 Modified Motor 15 turn single
YMW RF Wing Stock Motor 23 turn single
YMW BG Wing Stock Motor 15 turn single
Hope it helps others if interested in Yokomo motors.
I'm buying some new stuff to put a slash together for my nephew. All I really have left to buy is an brushless ESC/motor and batteries for it. I'll most likely be putting a sensorless ESC/motor into the truck. I have very little experience with...

Thanks guys.
No, he won't be doing any racing. I think I might try one of these:
I might try a 'Leopard' setup.
$60 seems like it's Worth the risk. Plus, it's Thunder Cats powered.
that is a good price WOW.
My brain is turning but I'm not getting nowhere quick
I'm sure there is a chart somewhere out there to tell us what the equivalent brushless motor turns are to brushed motor turns. Maybe this can be a quick and painless fix for me and possibly...
One of the last few parts Needed for my masami stealth build. My first attempt at making these lil buggers (not done yet) Does anyone have have a set of these wing buttons that could help with dimensions?

Looks great. At a fraction of the cost of the originals too I'm sure. Great job on them.
Can someone explains the correlation between turn and kv. And how it relates to the track and raceing..

Is a BL motor labeled R different than a T ? Like 17.5R versus 17.5T
Some of the branding like Speedpassion? were calling them R- but it was just a name-
I apologize in advance for the generality and newb-ness of a question like this but I don't really have the off-road RC experience to know whats what. I'm going brushless, lipo, etc in an RC10 runner build and I'm ready to order a motor. I will go...

Thanks for the replies, I did wind up ordering a 10.5. It sounds like it'll have all the potential I could want, I figure I can gear it 'slow', see how it runs and go from there.
Hello all, just found this forum and i'm very impressed. I've recently pulled my gold tub out of storage and re-built it for my son. my problem is i cant seem to keep it from rolling in the turns (on the street). besides softening the rear...

just try lowering the whole buggy, you can move the shocks where they mount on the shock towers so the end result is the suspension arms sitting more horizontal, also put the shock clamps at the top of the shock..pics would help us..good luck 8)
I picked this up the other day simply because I had never seen one before a yokomo twin cam motor was my first ever modified back in the day but it was the normal round shape this is normal in every other way it's just flat and more compact.

I had this one before and a some other in this series. Actually they are lemons.... especially when they were compared with motors in the same era, such as checkpoint, trinity, etc..
However, it is one of the earlier epoxy balance armature. But the...
