Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a brushless inrunner motor and why should I choose one for my RC car? — A brushless inrunner motor eliminates the carbon brushes found in traditional brushed motors, which means no maintenance, longer lifespan and superior efficiency. Inrunner motors use a rotating magnetic core inside a stationary coil, delivering smooth power and excellent speed control. Brushless motors are the preferred choice for modern RC cars because they run cooler, require no ongoing maintenance, and convert electrical energy to mechanical power more efficiently than brushed alternatives.
- What does the 2000KV rating mean? — The KV rating indicates how many revolutions per minute the motor will spin for each volt of electrical power applied. At 2000KV, this motor will spin at approximately 2000 RPM per volt, making it a versatile choice that balances acceleration and top speed. This rating is ideal for general-purpose RC car driving, providing strong mid-range performance without sacrificing low-end torque.
- What battery types work with the 3665-KV2000 motor? — The FMS PREDATOR 3665-KV2000 is designed to work with lithium polymer (LiPo) battery packs commonly used in modern RC cars. The specific battery configuration (cell count and capacity) will depend on your individual setup and desired performance characteristics. Always consult your ESC manufacturer's specifications and your specific RC car manual to determine the appropriate battery range for your configuration.
- Do I need to replace anything else when installing this motor? — This is a motor-only component, so you will need an ESC (Electronic Speed Controller), a compatible brushless servo (if applicable), and appropriate battery setup already in place. The motor itself is designed to integrate into existing brushless RC systems without requiring additional modifications to your chassis or electronics.
- Is the 3665-KV2000 suitable for beginners? — Whilst the FMS PREDATOR 3665-KV2000 is a quality motor, motor installation typically requires some mechanical knowledge, understanding of brushless electronics and proper soldering skills. Beginners may find ready-to-run (RTR) RC cars more accessible, but experienced builders upgrading existing setups will find this motor straightforward to install and configure.
- What warranty and support does this motor include? — The FMS PREDATOR 3665-KV2000 includes a 90-day warranty from the date of delivery. As an electronic accessory, it is covered by FMS's comprehensive warranty policy, and you are entitled to long-term official technician support. This ensures you have access to expert assistance throughout the motor's operational life.
