How is speed of a dc motor related to torque.

torque is inversely proportional to the speed.
the motor's data sheet usually has a torque/speed graph.

any body have any idea about voltage/amperage to speed/tourqe.
I know that a motor uses more amps to use more tourqe but... any thing else we should know?

just some useful stuff:

voltage is proportional to speed
torque is proportional to the armature current
torque is proportional to (output power/speed)
Horsepower=(torque * speed)/5252
also there are series, shunt, and compound DC motors. each have slightly different characteristics. for example: series motors have better start up torque and shunt has better torque vs speed characteristics.

Those are all for brushed motors.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but i think brushless motors behave similar to AC motors since a higher current= higher torque and more current modulated pulses = greater speed. They also have a better power efficiency than Brushed DC motors.

brushless motors require a controller . . . probably closer to a stepper? havnt actually used one . . .

I'm using this system on my r/c project car.

not for speed but more for efficiency.
