im shopping for a new(or used)brushed motor formy 1:10 scale buggy, but i need some help:
so i know that for a 1:10 scale you'll need either a 540 size or 550 size motor, correct?
but what does it mean when it says its a 12x2 or 11x1 or whatever, does that deal with the size, i found a reedy kr krypton for a good price, i think that what i wanna get but i wanna make sure its gonna fit, if anyone has an opionon opposing this motor, let me know, or if you think this is a great motor, anything helps, thanks </p>

12x2=12 turn double or something like that
and 11x1=an 11 turn motor

i might be wrong

Wow... no one suggesting EZ run motors? That's a first. ^^^ what he said. 550 is a longer can than a 540, by about half an inch.

the numbers on a motor is the turns of the motor like a 15x2 would be a 15 turn motor and the number 2 means the wires is double wrapped here maybe this will help you some this only aplies to brushed motors and not brushless

Motors

More Turns(e.g. 13x2 or 14x3)
More runtime.
Less power, and smoother response.
Easy to drive.

Less Turns (e.g. 9x2 or 8x3)
Less runtime.
More power.
Harder to drive.

More Winds (e.g. 11x4 or 12x5)
Slightly more runtime.
Feels very smooth, has a nice powerband. Very useful on slippery tracks.
More top-end.

Less Winds (e.g. 12x1 or 11x2)
Slightly less runtime.
Feels very punchy, but has less top-end.

More Timing Advance (e.g. 6 to 8mm)
Less runtime.
More punch, and more top speed.
More wear on the comm and brushes.
Motor gets hotter.

Less Timing Advance (e.g. 4 to 6mm)
More runtime.
Easy on the comm and the brushes.
Less punch and top speed.

Stiffer Brush Springs
More power at low revs.
Slightly lower top speed because of increased friction.
Better for high currents and bumpy tracks.

Softer Brush Springs
More power at hight revs, but less punchy.
Higher top speed.
Good for low current draw.
