I know already that the lower the turn of the motor the faster it is, but whats the difference between singles, doubles tripples qauds ect?, anyone know?.  |

Hi
Basically the single wire is of a lower gouge(thicker wire)
and can handle more current(more punch but less efficiency)
the quad has four wires of a higher gouge(thinner wire)
and can handle less current(less punch but more efficiency).
on the track you would "feel" the single motor to be more violent than the quad.
the double & triple are some where in the middle, most people like that that's why they are a popular choice.

A motor designated as 'single' (i.e. 10x1) has only one gauge (diameter) of wire wrapped around the armature. The gauges of the wire can vary by manufacturer, but it is usually quite thick as to handle a massive amount of current.
The terms 'double', 'triple', 'quad' ... etc. indicate the number of gauges of wire wrapped around the armature. For example a 10x3 (ten triple) would have 3 gauges of wire wrapped 10 times around each pole of the armature. Generally as the number of winds goes down, RPM increases and torque decreases slightly. Similarly, as the number of gauges increases, torque output generally increases but RPM decreases slightly. Also, the power band tends to smooth out as the number gauges increase (this is mostly due to the additional rotational mass of the armature as well as the increased torque and decreased RPM).
The reason more than one gauge of wire is used is to maximize the magnetic field by packing more copper wire around the armature. Smaller gauges of wire allow more copper concentration in a given area versus lager gauges.
Currently there are not a lot of motor choices with more than 'triple' designation. Occasionally you will see 'quad' winds and I have a couple of 'qint' winds (5 gauges) .
'nuff said,

Thanks that was a great help, violent motors sound good, was always ones for extremes. lol
