Remote Control Car Motors
All types of racing cars have different types of motors. Some have single or some have double. It is really confusing to try to sort out the difference between a single our double motor car. Plus a newbie into the world of remote control cars gets easily disoriented with what is a 13 turn double or a 13 turn single??Well, in plain speaking language it refers to number of times the wires are wrapped around the armature. A 13 turn double would be 2 strands wrapped 13 times.
A 13 turn single would be 1 wire wrapped 13 times. The double wires have more torque where as single wires have more speed. In general, it means that more turns means more torque but less speed and vice versa. That's lower turns means lower torque and greater RPM. The number of winds describes how abruptly the motor accelerates.
Fewer winds would mean less abrupt acceleration and more winds would lead to smoother accelerations. Torque basically refers to how much a force is acting on motor that causes motor to rotate. If there is more than one force acting on a motor then each of these forces shall apply torque. The net torque acting upon the motor shall be the sum total of all the forces or torques acting upon a motor. It is usually required for cars racing on the twisted tracks.
Remote control cars come with two kinds of motors: the ones with brush and ones without i.e. Brushless. The brushless motor has windings located around the outside of the motor and the magnets are located on the moving motor shaft. A brushless motor does not provide any friction therefore provides higher RPM. But a brushless requires a lot of processing power that's why it has not been a great success with RC trucks or cars.
The slot less and brushless motors are third generation motors. With slot less design, motor can achieve higher efficiency, torque, fast response time and longer life time with greater with zero maintenance. Cogging problem is also eliminated even at lower speed operation. But since there is a lot of research and development involved in their development they come out as expensive solution in case of RC cars. There are also sensor less and motors with sensors.
Sensor motors are older technology with less cogging, less rpm and less power. On the other hand sensor less motors are newer technology with more power and more rpm. Both have difference of cogging on start up. This can prove to be a little troublesome when you are in a race. It seems like forever for a sensor motor to start up.
But sensor less motor gives smoother throttle response, efficient running and a fewer wires to mess up with. Remote control cars have a lot to do with the motors and their functioning. When preparing for a race, checking out on motors can be really helpful. If your car is heavy then may be a motor with more torque would be required. A speedy light action racer would need a greater rpm.
Connections and wires to all the motors need to be properly fixed and checked. If you have some cash to spare for the race then going in for the slot less motor can be good idea..

Hey, look under the hood!It's a bird!It's a plane!It's SUPERCHIP!With apologies to Superman, performance computer chips or superchips are quickly becoming a popular way for auto enthusiasts to squeeze out more power from their cars. Basically what a superchip mod does is to store a new engine management program in your car's computer. Noticeable increases in horsepower and torque as well as improvements in driveability are the chief benefits of this type of chip. Installation is easy and the price is right...we'll examine just how easy and cost effective a superchip is below.Depending on the make/model of your car or truck, a superchip can help your vehicle crank out from 9 to 60 more horsepower. Not too shabby when you consider some compact cars barely make it to 115 horses.
Yeah, you could have elected for the more powerful engine with some cars but the $1000 or better mark up in price dwarfs the price...

CARazed.com - Car News, Reviews and Blogging Cars for Sale
CARazed.com, a new automotive blog, launched April Fools Day 2005. CARazed takes a different approach by merging free car classifieds with a blog. Mike Janzen (a.k.a. madMike), creator of CARazed describes its as, "blogging cars for sale." CARazed takes best practices from ecommerce and blogging and blends it up in a user-friendly car-commerce cocktail. CARazed is free for car sellers and buyers.For the uninitiated, blogs are websites where an individual or select group of authors post news, commentary, editorials, etc, and invite others to comment.
Blogging has proven to be an excellent way to distribute information and engage web users in dialogs. By extending the blogging model to selling cars online, CARazed introduces a new forum for people to connect. Car Sellers become bloggers, posting their cars much like classifieds but interact with car buyers much like bloggers.Instead of a fee based business model like most car classifieds websites, CARazed will rely on advertising...

World Leaders Bring Back Electric Cars
The fate of electric cars seems to be sparking still and not completely gone. This is primarily because soon enough, electric cars would again be on the streets and roads. Well, not exactly for every day use and for ownership, but at least, they would be used by world leaders of leading industrialized countries and democracies. Maybe there is hope, after all.
These leaders would include those who lead countries like the United States, Russia, Britain, France, Japan, Germany, Canada, as well as Italy.
They would be using the electric cars during the G8 Summit. This summit would be held this summer, July 15th to the 17th in St. Petersburg, Russia. GEM electric vehicles would be the ones to be used by these country leaders. And in part of such a big event, the government of Russia under the supervision of their president, Vladimir Putin, took part of the budget to purchase thirty GEM electric vehicles which could take in four passengers inside its cabin ?...

New Club Showcases Old Cars in Cyberspace
Show cars are put to bed at the end of the car show season in early Fall until the season starts again in April.
But in the hearts of car enthusiasts and collectors, the show must go on.
Tonza Borden, antiques collector, has filled this niche by launching AtlantaAntiqueCarClub.com.
The web site is a virtual community that offers a showcase of seldom seen vintage motorcars, research, history, private collections, and many more things to do while you are online.
Borden did not jump on the classic car bandwagon as a wannabe'.
Her background has driven her to this destination."Old cars are in my blood," says Borden. "My father started working as a mechanic and body specialist when he was 11-years-old.
I was 11 when I started hanging out with him at the body shop.
On my 16th birthday, he bought me a used 1960 Ford Falcon."Is is no surprise that car buffs have memories of their first wheels as strong as old shoes tied to a wedding...
