Rc motor questions...?
Hey I need to get a rc motor that will get to to 1200 rpm or higher. What turn motor should I be looking to get? Also I've noticed most shaft diameters are 1/8", I need to get it to 1/4", would they sell an adaptor kit at my local hobby store or is it something I'm going to have to Jerry rig?

Electric aircraft power systems are a 'matched set' of aircraft weight, flying style, battery V and A, ESC, prop, and oh yeah motor. :) Get any -one- of them too far out of spec and the results will be anywhere from silly (aircraft can't roll fast enough to launch LOL!) to catastrophic (aircraft explodes in a fireball before it gets off the ground.)
In the Ref is an excellent calculator where you can play with all sorts of numbers. From the top you select battery, ESC, motor, and prop, and that will tell you how much thrust that combination will produce and how much flight time you can expect.

The number of turns affect the torque and efficiency. No one can advise you unless you mention what model are you flying, what battery are you using.
Assuming you are trying to mount a propeller, prop adapters are carried by LHS. Talk to your LHS or purchase online
If you are taking about mounting a pinion, it is not possible. You might want to look for a different pinion or a motor with a larger shaft.
