What do winds/turns on the motor mean?

Gen X Hobbies Rc Car super store for Nitro Rc Cars and Elect...
A "turn" is the length of wire that is wrapped around the part of the motor spins inside (called the armature). The more turns on the armature, the slower it turns, and the less turns, the faster it spins. The highest turn motors are the slowest, these are the 27 turn "stock" motors popular in the United States. The lowest turn "modified" motors are the fastest, these range from 7 to 9 turns. Modified motors use much more power than a stock motor.

What do terms like 'turns', 'single', 'double'… mean and how do they affect the motor?

SYSTEM BLOODCLOD - Radio Controlled Monster Trucks (RCMTs)
The number of turns of a motor is the number of times the wires in the motor are wound around the armature. 'Single', 'double', 'triple' and 'quad' refer to the number of strands of wires being wound onto the armatures. Single refers to one wire, double refers to two and so on… Hence, a 16 turn double (16x2) breaks down to 2 wires being wound around the armature 16 times. The lower number of turns generally results in higher RPMs, amp draw and heat, as well as lower runtimes.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Imaging Tech display must depict the published theme in the rules for that year. The judges must not have thought your pictures depicted the theme well. Try, try again! Yes, the rules have been refined to make our members think a little harder! The original idea of the contest was for students to build a simple "robotic arm" type of mechanism. Instead, smart TSA students took the rules to the limits, and used simple rakes and hoes to pull the balls toward them.

What does # of turns mean?

DuraTrax - Product Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The # of turns on an electric motor stands for how many times the wire has been wrapped around the armature. The lower the turns, the higher the RPM the engine will produce, but the less torque (like 4th gear in a car). The higher the turns the more torque but the less top end speed (like first gear in a car). In general, lower wind motors are more expensive and are considered high performance "race" motors.

If the swab turns pink what does that mean?

Homax Products - Other - LeadCheck Lead Test Kit
Any pink color indicates the presence of lead. The HUD abatement level for lead in paint is 0.5% lead in paint or 1 milligram per Centimeter Square. The test is almost 100% accurate at these levels. The swab will test below the 0.5% level. In fact, 80% of the time the swab will indicate lead as low as 0.2%.

What does 'maximum sustained winds' mean? How does it relate to wind gusts in tropical cyclones?

Tropical Cyclones: Frequently Asked Questions
The Bureau of Meteorology uses a 10 minute averaging time for reporting the sustained (i.e. relatively long-lasting) winds. The maximum sustained wind are the highest 10 minute surface winds occurring within the circulation of the cyclone. These surface winds are those observed (or, more often, estimated) to occur at the standard meteorological height of 10 m having an unobstructed exposure. Gusts are a wind peak lasting for just a few seconds.

Should I balance the motor?

Frequently Asked Questions
In most cases weight matching of the pistons and rods/rod bolts is all that's required. The inline six is naturally balanced against first and second order harmonics and the crankshaft/counterweights usually don't require spin balancing, but having this done will improve engine smoothness at high rpm and lessen harmful vibrations. The Jeep I6 motor is internally balanced so the addition of the flywheel and harmonic balancer isn't necessary for the spin balancing procedure.
