I know this is probably a easy question for most of you; but I bought an LRP Sports Modified Brushless 9.5T for my Cyclone S RTR. What does 9.5T mean? Where can I find speed info and specs? I've replaced just about the entire car with new parts and want to understand its perfomance.

I've been racing for 5 years, so I know. The T means turns. A brushed motor armature is wound with wire a certain amount of times, like a 19-T armature wire is wound 19 times around the armature. A brushless motor wire is wound around the can of the motor and when the armature (rotor) is magnatized, it has less friction because brushed motors are clamped down by the brushes.

Oh yeah, brushless motors are usually capable of 35-45 MPH
A 9.5 turn brushless is comparable to a 19 turn brushed
