From my own experience, 28 gauge or 30 gauge seems to be the way to go, at least in 130 motors.

37T and 38T are the number of teeth on the pinion gear, if one is included.

neurokinetik knows a lot more than I do about motors, I'm a body man.

Some people like what's on the inside, I go for what's on the outside......cuz I'm shallow like that.

37T and 38T are the turns of the motor. The lower the number the higher the RPMs the motor turns. 30-34 guage wire should be good to wind the motor with. Stronger magnets are better for torque and not so good for top RPMs, same hold true for wire thickness. Search around and youll see what the stock winds on the spinbrush, stage 1 and stage 2 motors are. Its a good baseline. Dont go too low on the winds, youll burn out the FETs.

No, Im not sure what the minimum is, Neurokinetik would know.(Maybe)The lower the winds, the more current draw, the higher the chance you will burn out your FETs. The stage 1 motor is like 89 turns or something like that .....the spinbrush is 70(?) and the Stage 2 is 49. Im building a 40 turn , with the spinbrush motor....look around, Im going to post results soon.
