Description

Turnabot N20 motors stall at an incredible 2.0+ amps on 2S. It is VERY hard to stall these with common insect weight drive systems so using one of them per side on 2.0 amp ESCs has not been a problem. These are NOT rated to run two of them per side on a 2.0 amp ESC, the “standard” Malenki-Nanos for example. That said, while the Malenki-Nano-Integrated-High-Voltage (MNI-HV) is technically rated at 3.5a per channel, testing shows that most run just over 4.0a and are an excellent match for 2 Turnabot N20 motors per side.

Turnabot N10 motors stall at 1.0+ amps on 2S. This 1.0 amp “nominal” is also the appropriate limit for running two of them on ESCs with 2.0 amp max ratings.

Please note that even the 3600rpm N10 motors have enough torque that with four of the stickiest tires we’re aware of, a 2S lipo at it’s minimum suggested voltage (7.4v), and while carrying another 150g bot (300g on the wheels) these will still spin all four tires. The lower rpm motors can spin four sticky tires even in 1lb bots.

This much power in this small of a package means these motors should NOT be stalled for any length of time.

Not all “N20” motors are the same!!! N10 motors are smaller and lighter than N20 motors. Turnabot N10 motors are more powerful than “most” N20 motors.
