Frequently Asked Questions
- What FTX models is this motor compatible with? — The FTX Stinger 3300KV Brushless Motor is factory-fitted to the FTX Stinger 1/10 on-road street brushless RTR car (both grey and red versions) and the FTX EVO30 1/10 brushless street RTR car (available in black and red). It is also suitable as a replacement motor for these models should you need to swap or upgrade components.
- Is this brushless motor suitable for beginners to RC? — Yes, this motor is excellent for anyone new to brushless RC cars. Brushless motors are more reliable and require less maintenance than brushed alternatives, making them ideal for learning. However, you will need a compatible brushless ESC and LiPo battery setup to operate this motor, so consider the complete system requirements before purchasing as a standalone component.
- What battery does this motor need? — This 3300KV brushless motor is designed to work with 2S and 3S LiPo battery packs, which are standard for 1/10 scale on-road RC cars. The specific battery capacity and brand will depend on your vehicle's weight and desired runtime, but quality LiPo batteries in these configurations will provide excellent performance with this motor.
- Why should I choose brushless over brushed? — Brushless motors like this FTX 3300KV offer several advantages: they run cooler, are more efficient, require virtually no maintenance, deliver more consistent power, last significantly longer, and don't lose performance due to brush wear. For RC car UK enthusiasts serious about their hobby, brushless is the modern standard.
- What is KV and why does 3300KV matter? — KV is the motor's speed constant, measured in revolutions per minute per volt applied. A 3300KV motor spins at 3,300 RPM per volt, making it ideal for 1/10 scale on-road cars. Lower KV motors (like 2000-2500KV) are better for heavy vehicles and off-road use; higher KV motors provide more speed but need lower gear ratios. The 3300KV rating is optimised specifically for on-road street applications.
- Is this motor waterproof? — While the motor itself is relatively water-resistant, it is not fully submersible. The motor should not be intentionally submerged in water. Light splashing from rain or water puddles during on-road running is generally acceptable, but you should avoid extended exposure to water and rinse the motor with fresh water after any wet conditions.
