______________________________
INTRO AND EXPLANATIONS:
The Slot Car News Motor List provides motor specifications for people wishing to build cars, write rules, create slot car classes, study motors, or just look at data. The Motor List is created, researched, written, and maintained by Robert Livingston, and is independent of any manufacturer or commercial entity.
Motors are listed alphabetically by name of importer or distributor, not the actual manufacturer. Most motors are made by Mabuchi (Fly, Ninco, Scalextric); Sun (Carrera, Slot.It), or others. Vintage motors are in a sub-category under "V", at the end of the list.
RPM and torque data is at 12 volts, for purposes of comparison. If we do not have 12v data from the manufacturer or our own tests, we have extrapolated it from 14.8 or other voltages. This method is accurate within a few percent. [RPM/voltage, or gcm/voltage, extrapolated from RPM or torque at another voltage, is reported in brackets].
RPM ratings are no-load at voltage, as reported by the manufacturer or distributor (no-load RPM is the maximum a motor will develop). “Est.” means “estimated”. “Tested” means at least one sample was tested for RPM at the listed voltage, under no load, with this tachometer: www.checkline.com/tachometers/CDT-1000HD
The tach reads the RPM by shining a red light on a spinning disc on the motor shaft. The disc has a piece of reflective tape attached:
Motors are tested for RPM and torque turning clockwise (CW) looking forward at the motor, in an inline car, unless noted counter-clockwise (CCW).
Torque ratings are at stall, reported as “gcm” (gram centimeters) at voltage (stall torque is the maximum a motor will develop). Vintage motor torque data was found in inch-ounces, so a conversion factor of 1 in-oz = 72 gcm was used. Most torque data is manufacturer’s data; only limited tests of torque have been done by us. Tested torque is in red. A 1 cm torque arm is secured to the motor shaft, with a push rod against a gram scale. Nine readings around a single revolution of the armature are taken at 4 volts; the average is multiplied by 3, to derive 12v stall torque. This simple device is shown here:
The last data given for each motor is maximum power output, in Watts (W), at 12 volts. Power is derived from both RPM and stall torque. Maximum power is produced at around half the max RPM, where torque is also halved. The formula used is:
((Max RPM/2)*(max torque/2))/100,000 = Watts
Or, stated in words, "The product of half the max torque times half the max RPM, divided by 100,000, yields max power, in Watts." To convert Watts to Horsepower, divide Watts by 746 (746 Watts equal 1 HP).
Example:
Slot.It V12/3 "orange end bell" rated 21,500 RPM/12v, and 170 gcm torque at 12v.
((21,500RPM/2)*(170gcm/2))/100,000 = ? Watts
((10,750RPM)*(85gcm))/100,000 = ? Watts
913,750/100,000 = ? Watts
= 9.1 Watts
Or,
9.1/746 = .012 HP
The formula is standard; please note that this power formula only applies to electric motors; it does not apply to gasoline or diesel, internal combustion engines! The conversion factor for Watts was given to us by Maurizio Ferrari, of Slot.It.
An excellent explanation of small DC motor performance may be found at:
http://lancet.mit.edu/motors/motors3.html
Generic designation (in parentheses) is based on Mabuchi designations:
(FC-130) is the standard slot car motor, sometimes called Mabuchi or S type.
(FK-130) is the Fox or TSRF type.
(FK-180) is the Boxer or long can type.
(FF-050) is the slim, long can F1 type.
(FF-030) is the slim, short can such as SCX 1/43 Compact.
(SH-030) is the small box type.
Motors of the same type can usually be interchanged in their specific chassis brackets, although the shaft lengths may not be the same.
In the photo below, one of each type is illustrated. Counter-clockwise from upper right, they are: Slot.It Boxer 2 (FK-180), Scalextric Moto Bike and F1 (FF-050), Plafit Fox (FK-130), Slot.It V12/3 (FC-130), Fly and Scalextric "black stripe" standard (FC-130), and two vintage motors; Cox TTX-250 (FT-36D), and Pittman DC-195A (open frame, single magnet).
To distinguish similar types, the color of the motor case, label, or endbell is listed in quotes, for example, "red".
Ninco Kart, Pink Kar small box, and Pink Kar FC-130 motor RPM is from Racebaan, a Dutch site with photos and data for many motors:

Some torque and RPM tests are by Torquemadaslot, using methods similar to those of the Slot Car News Motor List, and are so credited.

Great job on the list. Thanks, Rob Perry (rperry240z)
Robert - Thank you for all your time and effort for compiling this much needed test information...and thanks for Dave for creating a great resource for it to be shown on.
Bruce
How about Pink-Kar Power Plus 1? From performance, I think it is similar to the Ninco NC-1.
Do you have any data for HO scale motors?
Hello, no we have not tested any HO motors.
DK
We pretty much test whatever we have. Some are manufacturer's samples, some are lent by others, some are our own.
If you have a sample motor you would like tested, you may e-mail me at:
rlivingston01@optonline.net
RL
Great job on the list. Hopefully a useful suggestion: if you would add a picture of each motor type along with the description of the differences, it might help in identifying each. You don't need every manufacturer, but a picture representative of each type (FC-130, FK-130, FK-180, etc.) might be useful.
JB
What is the 1/43d Carrera motor?
I think SCX Compact uses about the same.
Cjent
The 1/43 Carrera and SCX motors are generically FF-030 types. I have not tested any yet, but do have some SCX's available.
I will be doing photos eventually.
Thanks for the comments.
This post has been removed by a blog administrator.
Robert, which Cartrix motor is used in the Grand Prix Legends cars?
Could it be the TX1?
13k/12v
Have you ever tested the Reprotec motor that comes with their AC Cobra? I was going to classify it with Ninco's NC-2, seems like a bit more RPM, but not as much as NC-5. No other markings on the motor other than Reprotec, and it's a boxer type. Thanks.
Sorry, no Reprotec tests, nor have I found the manufacturer's data. Look on the Racebaan site (URL given in the Motor List Intro).
A fantastic effort and a great resource, you are a legend.
One minor correction, the Avant Slot Mag Motor power has been calculated using the torque at 14.8V not 12v (500gcm not 405gcm), hence the power is quoted at 27.4W not 22.6W.
Thanks for pointing that out. I had incomplete specs to work with.
Part of my legendary status comes from the errors I make.
Very Good Job !!!
Very Useful !!!
Regards from Portugal.
Artur
EXCELLENT JOB!!!
THANKS FOR THE INFO.
c.
Great info, Robert! Thank you!!!!
Can you tell me which motor comes in the Fly Ferrari non racing version? In a recent race these cars came in 1,2,3 ahead of other Fly GT cars...all using stock gear except silicone tires.
CT
New Jersey
That motor might have a black endbell; I don't know the specs. It might be the same as their standard motor, or it might be a little faster. I have not tested it.
Hello Robert. Have you posted any details on the "disk" that you attach to the motors for the RPM testing: what its made of and how it is attached to the motor shaft etc.?
Keep up the GREAT work and thanks again, Rob Perry (rperry240z)
Rob, it is a thin, black plastic disc I cut out, and drilled a .78" hole in the center. It is a press fit on the motor shaft. It doesn't weigh anything so it doesn't have to run true, it just carries a square of reflective tape for the tach to read.
Mi Congratulations from Portugal sloters your list is our reference for rules and championships.
I have leave a post last week about if you can inform something about the SCX RX-2,RX-4,RX-41B,Rx-42B,RX-44B.
With this your range of SCX will be complet.
Thank you very much
joao tavares
Joao, here is a link to SCX Worldwide, with detailed discussion of SCX motors:

What types of motors can fit into a Carrera slotcar also what motors can fit into a Spirit slotcar. It's a good site for motors i just have to take notes or just print out this page.
Carrera 1/32 cars usually have FC-130 motors, with the gear on the metal can end. Spirit cars have either FC-130 motors with the shaft on the plastic end, or the bigger FK-180 motors. You can buy some FC-130 motors with shafts on both ends to fit in a variety of cars (for example, motors by Slot.It, Scaleauto, H&R Racing Hawk, etc).
JK Falcon II (FK-130) 48,000 counter-clockwise RPM/12v
JK Falcon V (FK-130) 48,000+ clockwise RPM/12v
JK Falcon VII (FK-130) 40,000+ clockwise RPM/12v
Can't be right. The Falcon VII screams past all other Falcon motors. I just ran a tach on 2 7s and 2 2s and the 7s were MUCH faster than the 2s. Can I suggest a retesing?
Vince, the RPM shown is from JK, not from my tests. I did not test these motors. Test results on the SCN Motor List are noted "tested". Thanks.
I am surprised, you are a very very detail person, aren't you?
But, i like the contents.
On the Ninco NC-2, I was looking for the values for the red label motor under 12v. It reads:
NINCO NC-2 (FK-180) [14,676 RPM/12v] 18,100 RPM/14.8v, “black label” tested 14,298 RPM/12v, “red label” tested 20,868/14.8v
[213 gcm/12v] 263 gcm/14.8v 7.9W/12v
I see a 14.8v RPM value after "red label" at 14.8v, but don't see a 12v value for RPM for "red label". Was the red label NC-2 tested? Thanks.
The red label NC2 was only tested for RPM on 14.8v. It appeared to be an NC5 with an NC2 label.
Hi Dave, the list is getting better and better, great work.
I would however like to request a new torque test of the Scalextric "black stripe" since it's only estimated in the list and this is the motor that many use as the "reference motor" to compare against.

Good idea. The torque estimate is based on an average of number of long-ago tests, by myself and Davejr (not Dave K who runs the SCN blog). But I will go ahead and get some better tests of a couple of sample motors.
